Just as Joseph was pondering a difficult decision, God gave him the answers he needed in a dream. Mary hadn’t cheated on him—she had conceived a son by the Holy Spirit. He didn’t have to divorce her, and he didn’t need to be afraid. He could take her home as his wife despite what the gossips might say. Finally, he was to name the boy Jesus which means “Jehovah saves.” Perhaps at that moment, Joseph realized that Mary had been chosen to carry the Messiah that had been promised to the Jews long ago. The road ahead would be hard, but now Joseph understood the plan. Do you have a difficult decision to make? Know that God has an answer for you, too. Ask Him what it is. 

Bible Reading

Matthew 1:20-21 NIV
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. 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.”

Jeremiah 33:3 NIV
‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
