God Will Make A Way (Isaiah 1-3)

I've been watching the Lord of the Rings with my family in California for the past few days. I couldn't not share the analogy! Mary would treasured up all these things in her heart and ponder them, as she did with what the Shepherd told her (Luke 2:19) and what Jesus did as a boy (Luke 2:51). Mary love to wonder!

Frodo was carefree before Bilbo Baggin left him the Ring! Virgin Mary was carefree before the Holy Spirit come upon her. Gandalf came to Frodo to explain him that he's to be the Ringbearer. The angel came to Mary to tell her that she's to be the mother of Jesus. Gandalf urged Sam, or Samwise the Brave, to stay with Frodo after he eavesdropped their conversation. God's angel showed up in Joseph's dream again to tell him to go with Mary. Frodo carried his burden with Sam and Mary carried her burden with Joseph.

The Nine Fellowship were gathered together to complete the mission together, but throughout the journey they were assigned to other duties by the Flow. Gandalf the Grey fell, but he later returned to the Fellowship as Gandalf the White. Boromir was slayed. Merry and Pippin were kidnapped by the Orcs, but they met Treebeard who later gathered all Ents to go into the war. Frodo and Sam escaped to complete the mission. Aragorn, Gimili, and Legolas decided to go with the Flow and fight for the earth. Throughout their journey, they didn't realize that the Flow assigned them into the correct mission to defeat Sauron the Dark Lord.

The angels sang and encouraged them, then they went away from them into heaven. The shepherds saw the newborn baby lying in a manager and returned to their places. Simeon and Anna, at their old ages, witnessed the promised six weeks old baby Jesus at the Temple. The wise men came to offer the less-than-two-years-old baby gifts and left into the new path to avoid the path of Herod. Mary and Joseph received the warning from the angel and they departed for Egypt. They all went into different paths, but they didn't realize that God had assigned them into those positions to defeat Beelzebub the Prince of Demons.

All of us may carry a God-assigned burden like the Ringbearer or the Mother of Jesus, but God's the author. He will make the way for us. All we need to do is to walk like how the Ringbearer walked unknowingly into Mordor and how the Mother of Jesus unknowingly raised Jesus into the Savior.
