Tuesday, 17 December: In those days a decree went
out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should
be registered. Luke 2:1
We assume that we understand the ins and outs of
this world. In our modern twenty-first century mind, we separate things into
the realm of the spiritual and the realm of the physical, making an incorrect
assumption that these two realms exist separately with little interaction. We
forget that God does not exist or work in the same way that we do. Seeing the
end from the beginning, He weaves a marvelous tapestry, orchestrating actions
and decisions in ways sublime, ways indecipherable at the moment. Caesar makes
a decision for his own reasons all the while setting things up for Advent. How
our choices fit into God’s scheme may be transparent at the time, but Advent
reminds us that God always works His will.
