"A Pair of Providence"

"And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,

 that all the world should be taxed. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out

of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called

Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)   To be taxed

with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.  And so it was, that, while they

were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.  And she

brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid

 him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

(Luke 2:1-7)

A young virgin girl was visited by the Holy Ghost; it was a

 miraculous conception to bring forth the Savior

But, to be taxed, Joseph and Mary had to travel 80 miles by

 donkey and about to deliver, not a good behavior

Prophecy and providence perform their due, ever in the face of

 impossibilities, without a second thought

God's plans are brought forth with precision and perfect timing;

 they are performed without a glitch, as they ought

And there was "no room in the Inn" for the Savior of the world; He

 planned it that way, for a humble beginning

He must be born and placed in a manger, so as to have a favorable

 understanding, with all those He was defending

For later He would eat with publicans and sinners, wash men's

 feet, and die on a cross between two thieves

That no one could ever say they could not relate to Him, when He

 asked that He be received, and believed

He IS God in creation, Son in redemption and Holy Ghost in

 regeneration, and owns cattle on a thousand hills

But, He lowered Himself and abased Himself for the sins of the

world, and to conquer creation's wills

He paid with His blood, His shredded flesh, and His death upon

 the cross, but rose and now lives, for all to behold

He came in humility, rose in victory, reigns in perpetuity, but the

 end of the story is yet to unfold, and be told

He said He will come again and receive us unto Himself that

 where He is, we may be also, a miraculous outcome

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life; He's the redeemer of

all mankind, and we are the freed and ransomed

It all began with one humble pair, Mary and Joseph, the chosen

 above all, to produce the Messiah, our Lord

They made that long trip; 80 miles in that day was a hardship,

 especially with the God of the universe aboard

But, they had a promise, having been visited by angels, so they

 rode and walked to the holy manger, with confidence

They realized they were both called and assigned to the holiest of

 orders; they were chosen as "A Pair of Providence."
