Christmas Ordered! Proverbs 16:7

“A man’s heart diveseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.” Commentary: Before Christ I devised my own ways! I planned, invested, created idea’s but it did not lead to the peace I thought it would bring to me. I was on a mission to nowhere! In fact it moved me away from God! It was like Christmas without Christ! But after Christ A.D., the Lord directed my steps! He went before me and I followed him! The word direct in the Hebrew means to be steadfast, faithful, reliable, determined and prepared to set things in order! The idea of this word direct in Hebrew used here means to bring something into an incontrovertible existence! That is my faith in Christ is not able to be denied or disputed. Law produces order and without it lawlessness and chaos follows! So when the Lord orders or directs your steps where does it lead? Let us look at some of the characters in the Christmas story. The shepherds on the hills above Bethlehem tending their sheep on a cold winter night! They were nobodies in their culture spending another eventless night guarding their smelly sheep! Then suddenly a bang boom light show from heaven! They were afraid and so would you have been so! Angels and choirs of them announcing the King has arrived! The sheep dogs and the wolves ran away! The Lord directed their steps to a manger in Bethlehem! When the Lord directs your steps he will lead you to Jesus everytime! If you devise your own steps it will lead you away from Jesus every time! The wise men were directed to Bethlehem following his star! Go out into the world and preach the Gospel says the director of heaven! Then there are those that devise and oppose this commandment! The devised plans of men like socialism, Darwinism, wokeism, cancel culture, lawlessness are just a small sample of men devising plans against the Christ of Christmas! The Christ God of creation gets his creation of gender cancelled! However this does not change reality! A world without God is hell on earth! Jesus came to deliver us from our own devises! Take the shot or we will fire you from your job! King Herod wanted worship! When there was competition he sent his government troops to Bethlehem to destroy baby Jesus! He devised a wicked plan! Mothers with young children or pregnant were slain with the sword! God will direct your steps and lead you to Jesus or Satan will lead you away from Jesus! Government demands your worship! Satan demands your worship! Jesus reveals his glory, mercy and redemption to you but you must decide whether to worship him or not! On my death bed I discovered his love for me and since then he has directed my steps towards him everyday for the rest of my life! My faith in him is undeniable and undisputable! How about you?
