Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for, because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. --Peter Marshall
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting Micah 5:2
Around 700 years prior to Jesus’ birth Micah prophesied about His place of birth. So as God was guiding Mary and Joseph exactly where they needed to be, they still had a choice to follow. God did not make them go to Bethlehem but He did give them reason to go. It was their own choice that got them there.
Friend, if God is guiding your life you have a choice to follow Him or not. He will point you in the direction you should go and give you plenty of good reasons to go but He will not make you go anywhere. You have to choose! However, if you chose not to, the consequences that follow will be on you. Just ask Jonah!
