The King needs a room..

Luke 2: 7 KJV
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

God chose the children of Israel as His chosen nation because of His covenant with Abraham and since the beginning of time He had prepared for them a King that would rise among them to rule over His chosen. When the time came for the King to be born nobody had room for Him because everybody was busy minding their own business and they expected a king that would be of glitz and glamour as the other kings were. Only a few were blessed to experience that moment when King Jesus Christ the Son of God was born and the reason for that was that they had a bond with God and they waited patiently for His promise knowing that the time will come for it to be fulfilled.

Today we are still celebrating the day when the King Jesus Christ was born however what is amazing is that a lot of people still don’t have any room for Him to stay. We are too busy focusing on holidays, functions, presents and a lot more and yet we don’t have any idea of the purpose of Christ being born. Do we want to be among those who were too busy to have time for the King? or those who were blessed to experience a moment with the King? Let’s open our hearts to Him this festive season and make room for Him to stay. When He has taken place in our hearts we will know it by our deeds and character. The will be room for forgiveness, joy, peace and happiness because the King would have entered our house.
