At work I listen to Pandora. I have a station set for Contemporary Christmas Music. It has been amazing!! I just heard this song called "A Strange Way to Save the World". It fit with what I was studying in my quiet time this morning. I was questioning why God's plan is so different from ours and why it is so hard for us to just trust that He is in control and He knows the bigger picture. Can you imagine what Mary and Joseph were thinking? Really...God?? Why us? What is the bigger picture?? Here are the lyrics:
I'm sure he must have been surprised
At where this road had taken him
Cause never in a million lives
Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem
And standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
The message from the angel
Come to life, and Joseph said
Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade
Why Him, with all the rulers of the world
Why here, inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But, this is such a strange way to save the world
To think of how it could have been
If Jesus had come as He deserved
There would have been no Bethlehem
No lowly shepherds at His birth
But, Joseph knew the reason
Love had to reach so farAnd as he held the Savior in his arms
He must have thought
Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade,
Why Him, with all the rulers of the world
Why here, inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But, this is such a strange way to save the world
He save the world with a baby. And we limit Him?? Only 5 more days until Christmas. Waiting....expecting...trusting....loving....
