Spiritual Vitamin: "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." (Matthew 1:20-21)
Challenge: Have you ever placed yourself in Joseph's shoes? What would it have been like to hear this news from God? How would you have responded? Consider the responsibility that Joseph must have felt in this journey, yet He knew that God was with him. Even despite his obvious fears, God told him not to be afraid. What are you afraid of? Allow God to comfort you with his peace. Do not be afraid.
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for Joseph and how you used him to be a part of your plan for all eternity! Thank you for reminding him not to be afraid. Here we are during this COVID season and there is a tendency to BE afraid. God, thank you for walking with Mary and Joseph through this season that changed the world. Help me to trust you in those things I can't control. Amen.
