No Room in the Inn

"She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:7

When I read this verse today it sort of hit me in a different way. The last part of this scripture says that "There was no room for them in the inn". This wasn't just another pregnant woman needing a place to rest, this was the mother of Jesus, although the inn keeper probably didn't realize who he was dealing with. I got to thinking about those words, "no room", and I began to wonder if with all the things that I have in my life, all the daily activities, all the things that take most of my time, do I have room for the savior? Do I have room for the things that God wants for me? Do I have room for his presence to flow in my life? Do I have room for Him to work through me to touch someone else? Do I have room for obedience?

I think we all can make room for God in our lives because our lives are supposed to be His anyway! Have we made room for everything else besides the plan of God? It's my prayer today to make room for Jesus in my life and to spread His Word, daily!
