Do not fear to take Mary as your wife

“As he considered this, 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.” Matt 1:20

Have you been in a situation where something unexpected has happened or maybe something you expected to happen is happening earlier than expected? Well, Joseph was in this situation and as he considered his best response to what was going on, an angel appeared in a dream. 

In a moment where Joseph may have felt low, worried and disheartened about the decision he thought he should make, an angel of God Most High entered into the situation to bring encouragement: “Do not fear,” and clarity: “take Mary as your wife”.

Praise God that He knows best and gave Godly wisdom to Joseph via an angel!

Our Heavenly Father is so interested in the life decisions we make and is someone we can call on for wisdom because He sees the full picture.
