—Matthew 1:18-25

Now it was Joseph’s turn to receive some hefty, life-changing news. Mary, his fiancé was pregnant, and he knew he had nothing to do with that. His first response was, understandably, to break off the engagement. He would do so quietly to save face for Mary. But then, he received a visit from an angel who let Joseph in on God’s plan. Like Mary, Joseph must have had many questions, concerns, and doubts. Like Mary, Joseph responded in faith and trust. He accepted his role in God’s ultimate plan. He walked forward in faith, trusting God. How can you step out in faith today? What is God calling you to do? What is He calling you to trust Him for?
