We can have hope when life is chaotic, because God is in control.

1. God Is at Work in His Time. (vv. 1–2)

Galatians 4:4–5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

1. God Is at Work in His Ways. (vv. 2–6)

To accomplish His promises

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.

2 Samuel 7:12-13 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

To accomplish His plans (vv. 5–6)

1. God Is at Work for His Own Purpose. (vv. 6–7)
