Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for Your amazing plan of redemption and the precision timing and interlinking events that caused the Lord Jesus to be born in Bethlehem so that the words that were spoken by prophets of old would be carried out perfectly, for Your greater glory. Open my eyes to see glorious things in your Word so that the familiar story of Christ's birth in Bethlehem becomes increasingly thrilling to my soul as I see Your supernatural hand working tirelessly in the natural world and spiritual sphere. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
