—Matthew 1:18-25
by: Stephanie Ritchie.
Joseph was a godly man, trying to do the right thing by quietly divorcing Mary. He didn’t want her stoned to death, but he also didn’t want to marry her because he suspected she was unfaithful. Makes sense, right? When the angel spoke to Joseph about Jesus, Joseph did the right thing by marrying her. He listened to God, plain and simple.
God works in mysterious ways and we need to remember that God can speak to us directly, or through an angel. He can whisper in our ears, or scream in our faces. Our job is to listen.
