When we call upon the Lord in faith, He gives His Word, we find Comfort. Comforter. Lent is the season to turn our hearts to the Lord God Almighty and give thanks for His Son, Jesus Christ. Savior.
Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
Luke 2:1
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus
that
all the world
should be registered
This is 7 years, newly discovered Roman Road,
12 miles leading to Bethlehem.
The coins found in the rocks were appropriate to the time of Christ,
bronze coins (or 'prutah') issued by Pontius Pilate between 26 and 36 AD.
The archaeology and history align
to be able to take logic
and add belief
for enduring faith.
Placed, where we can say, "My Lord and My God, Jesus is Lord
and I believe."
Consider the well-known aspect of Jesus being born in Bethlehem. It could have been about any time, correct. Or it was the precision of God's own Plan. Isaiah's 7th Chapter tells of the social, financial, even method of hair cutting at the time of the Messiah's birth. Razor hair cuts, Roman style. Made popular by Alexander the Great in 400 B.C. Alexander, who was in the Scriptures for bringing Tyre out of being an island. And was written to meet the High Priest, and he did.
Yet, Luke 2:1, is more precise.
The Censor, and therefore the censusm in Rome, was a complex Office. The Law, lawmakers and politics. It is a fact the census office was abolished by Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Dictator of the Roman Republic, 81 BC, because there was no census during the two lustra which elapsed from Sulla's dictatorship.
Including to Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey's first, and son in law to Julius Caesar - The Roman General Pompeius, who wisely decided not to charge into the Holies of Holies for suddenly realizing - this was beyond fatal) consulship (82–70 BC). Pompeius was so intrigued by the faith of the Jews. To Pompeius, this was merely part of the gods and devotion. Pompeius campaigned for a war on the Jews to be able to boldly go into the Holy of Holies in the Jerusalem Temple. As Pompeius reached the inner portion of the Temple and seeing the written signs about Death to Foreignors, Pompeius decided Campaign or not, no he should not trample on God's Territory.
Why suddenly a Census in 3, 4 A.D? Augustus famed himself, as Julius Caesar's nephew as being useful to his uncle. And his genius began in accounting. Augustus was hailed above Antony for his taxation and inheritance laws.
So the decree of going to Bethlehem was exactly known in history from Roman History.
In fact, Who took Augustus' Census? † In 88 BC, when Augustus hired and caused 2 men to run the office of census takers: Lucius Munatius Plancus and Aemilius Lepidus Paullus to fill the office.
Micah 5:2
But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.
Mark 9
The man took his son to see Jesus. He felt unable to have faith to heal his child. He cried out to Jesus to help because he could not. Jesus understood. This is Jesus. He goes where we cannot.
23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” 26 And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Hebrews 10:26-27
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins
John 8:31-32
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
Ephesians 1
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him.
In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose,
which he set forth in Christ.

Lift again tired dog path knees and straighten again
Hebrews 12:11-15
11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant,
but later it yields
the peaceful fruit of righteousness
to those who have been trained by it.
Therefore lift
your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
and make straight paths for your feet,
so that what is lame may not be put out of joint
but
rather
be healed!
14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God;
that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble,
and by it many become defiled.
Psalm 134
A Song of Ascents.
Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
2 Lift up your hands to the holy place
and bless the Lord!
3 May the Lord bless you from Zion,
he who made heaven and earth!
A Song of Ascents.
Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
2 Lift up your hands to the holy place
and bless the Lord!
3 May the Lord bless you from Zion,
he who made heaven and earth!
Psalm 102
He looked down from His holy height;
from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to set free those who were doomed to die,
21 that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord,
and in Jerusalem his praise,
22 when peoples gather together,
and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.
Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
27 but you are the same, and your years have no end.
28 The children of your servants shall dwell secure;
their offspring shall be established before you.
Psalm 111
2 Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy;
8 they are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption to his people;
he has commanded his covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is His name!
Let the Love God is Strengthen us to Joy.
Our Path to be in His Plan.
In the Wonderful and the
Highest Name of Jesus Christ.
Amen in His Joy. Amen.
Jesus, God of Encouragement.
Jesus, Hope and Future.
Jesus the Lord
