Luke 1:32-33 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Today, as I was reading through the Christmas story in Luke these two verses caught my attention. We are still looking for the promise of Jesus sitting on the throne of his father David in fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant. Jesus shall yet rule on the earth and of his kingdom there shall be no end. We look forward to the day that the angel declares, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Rev. 11:15)

God's Wonderful Provision
God is so incredibly good!!! He provides for us in so many ways.
Yesterday I was doing a little shopping. One of the things I needed was some yarn for Christmas gifts. It just so happened that both kinds of yarn that I needed were on sale. As I walked away from that section of the store, I said, "God, you are so good! Thank you!"
I also needed two other items. When I got to the checkout counter, I realized I did not have my coupon for 50% off which I could have used for one of those items. I almost just checked out, but decided to go to the car to check to see if it was on the car seat. So I left my basket at the checkout counter and went to the car. Much to my disappointment the coupon was not in the car. So I went back in the store and waited in line. Shortly before it was my turn to checkout, the man in front of me turned around and offered me his 50% off coupon that he had been unable to use for his purchase. So I got 50% off, saving $4, which was almost enough to pay for my gas to go to the store. All I could say on the way out of the store is, "God you are so amazing! Thank you for the many ways in which you provide for us."
The timing of having that man at that spot at that moment, made me wonder if perhaps it was angel and a set up by God. It was definitely a setup, but I doubt that it was an angel. Our God sees our greatest and smallest needs. I am so thankful we have a God that cares about each detail of our lives.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
