SCRIPTURE: Luke 3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
OBSERVATION: I like to read about God speaking to specific people at specific times. I like to read about historical people that were present in the world at the specific time God spoke. God is not separate from history; but He wraps himself within the context of human existence. The Bible is not about people and places no one has ever seen or known. In the Bible we read of God being involved in the daily lives of real historical people.
APPLICATION: Even unto today, the eternal God has not changed. He is still wrapping himself in the history that is being written today!
Each of us have a testimony of how God has involved himself in our lives. What a change He made when He invaded our time and space! He did what no other could do. He proved himself to us.
I can tell my son and granddaughter of the specific times and places God has spoken to me. My history is a story of God being involved in my daily life. God is wrapped in my history.
PRAYER: Lord, as this day moves into history may I look back and see that you have wrapped yourself in all the events of today! You were leading me yesterday in preparation for today and tomorrow I will discover that you are leading me today in preparation for tomorrow! Amen.
