Psalm 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive to
the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his Word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
Mary and Joseph didn't stay to accept the rule of Herod. They didn't go back and attend to being part of Nazareth. They didn't risk Jesus to this comfort.
They were fighting the good fight.
Like Abraham, they were going where God moved them. Did they stop to consider Isaiah, “Out of Egypt, I will call My Son.”
Even if Mary was, “Pondering all the impossible things in her heart.”
After the astonishing, wondrous Angelic Host, the Angels, the Magi avoiding Herod, the presentation of Jesus in God's Temple; Mary and Joseph did what we have done today. They drew into their family and determined in the current events how they would best prosper and hold their family together.
Mary and Joseph, like Mary's family, Elizabeth and Zechariah, were thought to be Merciful and Pleasing to God. God defines this in Luke 1:
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.
Hebrews 10 35
Therefore, do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.
36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37 “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe in the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 12
11No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees. 13 Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
The way forward!
When we think of Jesus in His Private Years of His Family in team building, we are given insight twice in the Scriptures:
Matthew 11
54 Coming to His hometown,
He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? 56 Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
Jesus had life in a peaceful Joy we find so Encouraging!
Jesus did well with the small ground Jesus knew of the Multitudes in His Kingdom.
Isaiah 45:22
Look unto me, and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth:
for I am God,
and there is none else.
Today we ask of You, Father Abba, a Blessing and Receive. We find our Joy.
