Joseph – The Holy Spirit is Doing Something
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. Matthew 1:20 (ESV).
Joseph faced a significant dilemma when he discovered Mary was pregnant. He planned to divorce her quietly, but an angel reassured him that the Holy Spirit was at work. Often, we face situations that cause us fear and confusion, but we can trust that God is working behind the scenes through His Holy Spirit. What situation in your life needs the assurance that the Holy Spirit is at work, even if you don't fully understand it?
Prayer: Father God, Thank You for the assurance that Your Holy Spirit is at work in my life. Help me to trust You even when I don't understand what is happening. Guide me and give me peace. In Jesus name, Amen.
