God Didn’t Interrupt History, He Fulfilled It: The Hidden Power Behind an Old Familiar Story

Have you ever noticed noticed how God often works in ways we overlook? He does not always introduce something new, but reveals what has been there all along. You read an old passage, He shows a completely different angle. He retells a familiar story, but reveals a new perspective.  We are all familiar with the Christmas story. Sometimes a little too familiar. But this familiarity can cause us to miss the broader story God is telling. There is far more happening beneath the surface than we often realize, yet it is all laid out clearly throughout Scripture, written in detail for our understanding. The FULL story of the birth of Christ reveals a God who is far more sovereign than we tend to acknowledge. His thoughts are not our thoughts. His ways are not our ways. His rule, reign, and power are are in full display through the Christmas story, but somehow just slightly beyond our sight. When we slow down and allow God to give us a a deeper understanding of what is really taking place, the Christmas story transforms from simply a beautiful story (as we see it today) to a testimony of God's wisdom, God's power and limitless might. We see a God who watches over His word to fulfill it, not by interrupting history, but by working through it. We learn that what we often perceive as inconvenience, poor timing, or obstacles to God’s plans and promise are frequently the very means He uses to bring His promises to pass. If you have ever wondered how God could be present within ordinary systems, even oppressive ones, in inconvenient timing, or behind closed doors, this episode is for you.   Available now everywhere podcasts are played.
