Does there come a time when you can't back away from someone,
you might want to, but you cannot, they are someone you care about,
someone that matters to you? Does there come a time when you have
to back away, when it looks hopeless, when everything that you know
says that it isn't going to work out, when your best senses tell
you to "Run!" Ever been in such a situation? They exist, people
find themselves in them all the time, and usually not because of
anything bad, necessarily; for example the salesman says "aw go
ahead and take it out for a test drive." The man at the service
station says, "we've seen a lot of those like that, it'll probably
not be much." Should we go into insurance and, on and on...and
you get the point, sometimes life throws curves at you, that
you aren't ready for. "Now Dana c'mon I don't care about a
car salesman," which is good, that isn't who I'm referring
to you caring about that you can't back away from, you see,
in the morning, the one person you can't run away from is
looking right at you. Good morning - Joseph.
Joseph just got handed an enormous curve, but the question,
and the story, isn't about Joseph, it's about you:
Mat 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as
the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Nothing fraudulent sounding here is there? The man did what
he had to do, and at this point, let's be a little bit more
real than perhaps we'd like to be, Joseph, was following the
instructions of ethereal beings. He was, by any standard of
modern psychology, delusional; but he wasn't, was he? We are
going to get introduced to the faith of Joseph, alone, as
here, with Mary, a little later, and we also are given
insight into this remarkable man, the surrogate father
to the creator of all, Jesus. Bear in mind, however, that
this story isn't about that, it is about you, how do you
see it, how do you feel about it, what are your senses
about the story, what do you think was going on, what
have you prayed about it, how have your prayers and your
relationship with Jesus been deepened by this story.
The Bible is written, preserved and a book of miracles,
which is itself a miracle, for you. Consider how
immensely important you are, all of this takes place
in order that this day, you would be reading what you
are reading and thinking what you are thinking.
Hope they are worthy thoughts?
