Luk 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

Luk 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

Luk 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

They went to Bethlehem to be taxed. That must have been a burden to them. Not only did they have to leave home at the time when Mary was “great with child,” they had to leave there work. The government wants to take more of there money and Joseph had to put of some of his jobs. In his life, it would have been easy to think that, “surly God is not in this thing.” But God was exactly in “this thing.” So many times WE think, “surly God is not in this thing,” but rest assured, that His will was being worked out then. And His will is being worked out now in your life also.
