And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2:7
Question
What might be crowding Jesus out of your heart or schedule this season?
Context
Luke records the details of Jesus’ birth. No room, no welcome, no recognition, yet this was the moment God chose to enter the world. The absence of space did not prevent the arrival of salvation. God’s purposes are never hindered by human inconvenience.
Application
The manger reminds us that love often comes quietly and unexpectedly. Though there was no room for Jesus in the inn, God still made a way. The question of Christmas is not whether Christ has come but whether we have made room for Him. In the busyness and pressure of the season, it is easy for our hearts to become crowded. Yet Jesus is still willing to enter the humblest spaces we offer Him.
Slow down today and intentionally make room for Christ. Create space through prayer, worship, and obedience. When we clear space for Jesus, His presence brings peace, purpose, and renewal.
Truth For The Day
There is always room for Jesus in a willing heart.
Pray
Lord, forgive me for the times I’ve been too busy to notice You. Help me make room for You in my heart, my home, and my daily life. Prepare me to welcome You with humility and joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
