Matthew 1:20 New International Version (NIV)
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of
the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not
be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is
from the Holy Spirit.
Reassurance beyond understanding! That's the beginning of
the Christ story for Joseph. What he cannot understand and what he had no part
in creating, will now be the groundbreaking journey of his own faithful and
generous heart. He will be the human daddy to the Savior of the world. He will
live the rest of his life knowing that a miracle happened with Mary without his
input or involvement. His faith, and God's use of him in this story, should
awaken each of us to the incredible possibilities that God may have in store
for us. Why not use this December to re-awaken your heart to the Holy One, born
Jesus of Nazareth.
Thought for today:
Do I have to understand in order to utilize my faith to the fullest?
