The Appointed Time, The Anointed Place

All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child. And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
​Luke 2:3-7 NLT

God is so precise. His predestined plan for our lives is established to the finest detail for the events of our lives to take place at His exact time and place (Luke 12:7). Everything that God causes to happen is in order to bring about the destiny for which we were each called forth (Romans 8:28). God’s plan unfolds according to His word, at His set time, and at the select place for the blessings in our lives (Isaiah 60:22). He causes circumstances to occur that bring us into the just right environment to bless us at the just right time, when all the necessary circumstances are aligned to bring about His glory, and bringing prosperity to the place of blessing (Isaiah 55:11; Ephesians 1:11). In that place, God has gone before each of us and made the crooked places straight and the rough places smooth to give us an anointing of ease to crown our efforts with success (Isaiah 45:2-3, Proverbs 3:4-5 TLB).
Let us be cognizant of and submissive to God’s plan that is constantly at work in our lives (Romans 11:29). It is important to pray about everything and yield to the Holy Spirit for direction leading to our place of blessing at the time God prescribes (Genesis 28:10-22). Let us be encouraged to trust God and to obey the word of God imparted by His Spirit which leads us to our place of blessing at God’s appointed time (Genesis 22).

Be Blessed!
