'Miraculous Scandal' — Matthew 1:18-19

This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.— Matthew 1:18-19 NLT

Key Thought

Imagine that the plan of God depends on the faith of an engaged carpenter and young virgin who finds herself pregnant. There is a quiet and faithful dignity that undergirds this whole miraculous scandal. In the face of the inexplicable and the scandalous, Joseph and Mary show themselves faithful and kind. Their behavior is a great reminder to us of how we should conduct ourselves when things concerning our friends and faith seem untidy, unclear, or unfair.

Today's Prayer

Faithful and righteous Father, thank you for the example of Joseph's kindness even though he was hurt and bewildered. Thank you for Mary's faithfulness, even though her challenge was enormous and largely incomprehensible. Most of all, thank you for your faithfulness to your promises. In Jesus' mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

Benefits of Being Consistent with God (7)

Text: Come near to God and He will come near to you…_ James 4:8

Remember that spending consistent time with God requires discipline, being intentional and effort but the benefits far outweigh the costs of spending consistent time with God, so let’s do better. Here is another of such benefits: When we spend time with God, we are able to trust Him easily. Would you be able to trust someone you don’t know or surrender to someone you don’t know? I don’t think so. Trust is easier when there is a deeper relationship. As such, when we spend consistent time with God, we are able to know Him more. To know more about His Love, Compassion, power and might to carry us through life. As we know more about Him each day, trust gradually becomes easier.

Trusting God benefits us more than it benefits God. Trusting God allows us to offload all our burdens to Him. Matthew 11:28 says, “come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Resting in God is when we get to that place where we are calm and confident in God’s promises, even in the midst of storms and we can only get here when we choose time with God each day. Proverbs 3:5-6 also says that we should trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding. In all our ways we should acknowledge Him and He shall direct our paths. Our trust in God leads us to acknowledge God in everything and as we do that, He directs our paths because we learn to lean and rely completely on Him. Again, I pray that this encourages you to continue to be consistent with God if you already are. If not, please strive to develop consistency with God and your life will never be the same.

Prayer:
Father, help me to have a consistent walk with You in Jesus’ Name.

'The Gifts' — Matthew 1:20-21

As [Joseph considered breaking his engagement to Mary], 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. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."— Matthew 1:20-21 NLT

Key Thought

Most Christians know the three gifts of the wise men to Jesus were gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But, did you know that the angel of the Lord also gave Joseph the assurance that God is giving three gifts in sending Jesus? God's three gifts in Jesus are: 1) a Son of David who fulfills God's promise of a King who will reign forever; 2) a child who is God's Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit; and 3) a Great Deliverer, who will save his people from their sins. As Jesus' younger half-brother would later write, God is the Father of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17). There is no gift more precious or far-reaching than the gift of Jesus, God's Son, and our Savior.

Today's Prayer

O dear Father, you give such amazing and generous gifts. Thank you for your assurance and love, for people of faith who believe and act on your word, for the Holy Spirit who leads us in your will, and most of all, for your Son and my Savior, Jesus. For these gifts and a host of others I so often take for granted, I give you thanks. You are wonderful and your love is too great for me to fathom. Please accept my heartfelt praise, in Jesus' name. Amen.
