His Plans Unfold With or Without Room

[S] Luke 2:7 --
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

[O] Despite not finding a room in the inn God brought forth His plan anyways where there was room to receive Him and brought forth the anonymous shepherds to join this one-and-only awesome celebration.  These days we see people lining up the night before to not miss out on the latest gadgets or sales but if Jesus were to have come today, many of us, including myself, would've been indifferent about that while being so engulfed in the busyness of our own schedules and plans to complete.  However, He would've come anyways to the smallest and lowliest place as long as there was room (willingness) to receive Him.

[A] The question of 2012 is:  Will I be available to make room for His plans to unfold in my own life?  Or would I be too per-occupied in my own world indifferent to what God is about to do?  God's will is going to unfold regardless of my answer/choice above so I need to make room for Him that I may join in on the excitement of His wondrous and beautiful works in 2012.

[P] Dear Father, I commit this year into Your hands but at the same time I commit to prioritize and align my life and schedules to make enough room for You on daily basis.  Please continue to send Your Spirit to guide and strengthen me.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
