Joseph's Obedience

 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. Mathew 1:24.

                Joseph was a Carpenter and a righteous man who was betrothed to Mary. He was the earthly father to Jesus and came from the tribe of Judah. As Mary was found to be pregnant by the Holy spirit, he decided to put her away secretly. During that time, an angel appeared to him in dream and told the God’s plan. 

              Joseph accepted God’s plan and obeyed God. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Mathew 1: 20. He did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

              Joseph obeyed and walked in the guidance of God. He obeyed God and took Mary and child to Egypt. When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,’ he said, ‘take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him - Matthew. 2:13.                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to receive Your guidance and obey to Your word. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
