Too Busy To
See Him
Max Lucado
One’s imagination is kindled
thinking about the conversation of the innkeeper and his family.
Did anyone mention the arrival
of the young couple the night before?
Did anyone ask about the
pregnancy of the girl on the donkey?
The innkeeper and his family
were so busy. The day was upon them.
The day’s bread had to be
made. The morning’s chores had to be done.
There was too much to do to
imagine that the impossible had occurred. God had entered the world as a
baby.
Meanwhile the city hummed.
Merchants were unaware that God
had visited their planet.
The innkeeper would never
believe that he’d just sent God out into the cold.
Those who missed His Majesty’s
arrival — missed it not because of evil acts or malice; no, they missed it
because they simply weren’t looking.
Not much has changed in the
last two thousand years, has it?
