“...an angel of the
Lord appeared to him in a dream. ‘Joseph, son of David,’ the angel said, ‘do
not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived
by the Holy Spirit’ ”
(Matthew 1:20, NLT)
Have you ever felt overwhelmed or even afraid of what God
has called you to do? Maybe you were pursuing a dream or goal and things didn’t
turn out the way you planned. Joseph had planned to take Mary as his wife, but
when he found out she was pregnant, he didn’t know what to think. He was afraid
that he might be making a mistake because things didn’t turn out the way he
planned. But, God sent a messenger in a dream to reassure Joseph that he was on
the right path.
Today let me reassure you that God knows right where you
are, and He knows how to get you to where you need to be. Even when things
don’t go the way you planned, His hand is on you. Do not be afraid, trust that
God is working behind the scenes on your behalf and that He will lead you into
the life of blessing that He has prepared for you.
