The faith of Joseph



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.



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."


— Matthew 1:20


Dear Lord, we are im awe of the trust Joseph had in you -- a trust that helped him deal with what he could not understand. Now we come, with that same excitement and bewilderment to be reminded again of the miracle of your Son and our Savior. Please make him real to us as we seek to know him better. In Jesus' name. Amen.
