Life rarely unfolds according to our plans, leaving us questioning where God is in our circumstances. The Christmas story reveals how God works through seemingly impossible situations to accomplish His perfect will. Mary and Joseph faced unexpected circumstances that didn't align with their plans, yet God used their situation to fulfill ancient promises to David. Despite a curse on the royal line and centuries of exile, God orchestrated Jesus' birth through both Mary's biological lineage and Joseph's legal adoption to restore the Davidic throne. Through Christ, believers are also restored to royal status as children of God, adopted into His family as a new creation.
