Luke 2: 1-7 (Pt. 2) Thought/Prayer: Birthplace of a “Dear Little Stranger.”Topics:2 @ end.
“Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant. It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth. She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.” (WEB ) Read these scriptures and more at http://prayerpivot.com.)
A beautiful Christmas song (now in public domain) was written by Charles H. Gabriel in 1900. Its lyrics portray the humble beginnings of the Savior of all and speak of His birth in a stable.
“Low in a manger, dear little Stranger,
Jesus, the wonderful Savior, was born.
There was none to receive Him, none to believe Him,
None but the angels were watching that morn.
Refrain
Dear little Stranger, slept in a manger,
No downy pillow under His head;
But with the poor He slumbered secure,
The dear little Babe in His bed.
Angels descending, over Him bending,
Chanted a tender and silent refrain;
Then a wonderful story told of His glory,
Unto the shepherds on Bethlehem’s plain.
Dear little Stranger, born in a manger,
Maker and Monarch, and Savior of all;
I will love You forever! Grieve You? No, never!
You did for me make Your bed in a stall.”
As Christmas approaches each year, our thoughts may naturally turn to this now-familiar scene, heralded by song decade after decade. But in songs like this one, with lyrics describing the humble birthplace, perhaps we may ponder the wisdom of this, put in place by the mind of God. We know that this little baby, humbly born, grew to become the Lord of All and King of Kings, through His sacrifice on the cross for all peoples. He overcame. He overcame the cross; and before that, He overcame the manger.
From His lowly manger He grew to become the beloved rabbi of those who believed, teaching and healing all who came to Him and asked. That same baby and beloved teacher became the Savior or all, and He is the Savior of babies in the womb as women seek help with a problematic pregnancy or an unexpected/unwanted one. Unexpected babies may experience a lowliness when they come into the world in perhaps dire circumstances. But God loves all these the lowly and calls to them and to their parents to come to Him and receive all of the help He can give – which is everything.
Lord, we thank You for the babies in the womb who are not really wanted and who may be born in poor circumstances. We thank You that You love them and want to raise them up to be overcomers through the victories that You will give them in life.
Topics: Pray that parents of unexpected babies will turn to God for support for the baby’s birth and that they will walk with God bringing up these children for His glory, no matter how poorly placed they were at birth.
