The Inn Place…
With life’s many distractions, it’s often hard to get alone with the Lord. Two-thousand years ago in Bethlehem, the place to be it seemed, was the inn. The inn was filled with people; there was no more room.
The inn was where it was at. It was “in” to be at the “inn.” The manger was outside the inn, not the place to be. But today no one is interested in the inn, but everyone is interested in the manger.
In the end, it’s not the “inn” things that are going to be where God is at. That seems like the “in” place, but in the end, it’s not going to be. The “in” place is going to be where Jesus’s presence is – God’s presence.
The other stuff is going to be empty; forgotten. The only thing that will matter is you being alone with the Lord, in God’s presence; that’s it.
Just like Joseph and Mary, get out of the inn and get into the manger, into the quiet with God, because there’s no room at the inn. But in the manger is the presence of God.
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11
Find a quiet place where you can be completely alone with God, to pray and have fellowship with Him! You will find rest there.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed
