Memory Verse; He (Jesus) is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17
Isaiah 21-23, Proverbs 10
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. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” - Matthew 1:20-21
Joseph didn’t want to embarrass Mary, but he did not believe her at first and was still planning on divorcing her quietly before the angel visited him.
The proper response, as Hanukkah teaches, is not to curse the darkness but to light a candle.” —Rabbi Irving Greenberg.
Father,
We remember Joseph today, and realize in a new way what courage it must have taken him to marry Mary! He didn’t believe her at first, Father, and nor do we believe people who are speaking truth to us sometimes. As the angel visited Joseph to clarify the truth and assure him the child was from the Holy Spirit, we pray to be able to hear Your voice clearly through whomever you choose to speak through in our lives. As we follow Christ in our daily lives, we pray to be obedient to you. In Jesus ‘ Name, Amen.
