Matthew 1:19-23
Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel”
Every once in a while, you are grabbed by Scripture and held tightly.
As Joseph sat to think of his tragedy and the circumstances - God did not see Joseph's troubles as Joseph did.
God's Word has just reached in and grabbed, pulling me is this:
as he considered these things,
behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
God has deemed to be Father and the thoughts of the righteous man - are prayer. What Joseph considered to be internal conversation - Father God has called this conversation - prayer to answer.
Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
John 14:16
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever
God's Word arrives on time, just as we need Him. The Comforter places us in His Comfort. The Perfection of God's Word. The Lord's Praise and Comfort of His Workmanship has arrived over and over this week to encourage Prayer. Pleasing to God
Matthew 10
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.
Fear not, therefore;
you are of more value
than many sparrows.
Abba,
I give You great thanks. You never leave or forsake us.
To see the work of our hands blessed. Simple things - like the utility door needed paint for many years it seemed to not match and finally it matches and is whole.
The blessings of good sons, growing to be independent men. Ready to travel along with you to visit those we love.
The blessings of God telling us when we have trouble ahead, He will find the way and the Life. We pray and pray and know He strengthens us in His Holiness. Ezekiel told us even dry bones are restored. All things are possible with God, Jesus has told us. John 14, 15, 16 and 17.
Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us
2 Corinthians 13:4
For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.
Entrusting God. Empowered by His Word. Enriched by His Love. We place the one's we Love in Your Capable Will. Your Steadfast Love. We trust You so completely we rest our Nation in Your Care. And the Nations of Your Creation. The Children of God will find more Heaven on this earth in Your Good Will.
And we are remembering our friend, numbered with the Greatest - for his willing soul to continue and to be strong with circumstance - as he told us years ago.
Jesus Christ is God's Son, sent as our redemption and our Love. Jesus Lives and we do. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
