Day 4
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit Matthew 1:19-20
Don’t be afraid to make hard decisions, make His decisions. When we make it His business rather than our business, we don’t have to fear the business of doing life. When we make it our business to do His business, we don’t have to fear the thoughts and traditions of man and this world. The world labels and litigates those it loathes. Mary was labeled and liable for her situation, but Joseph made it his business to do God’s business in his life. It was at that point that he realized he wasn’t alone, God sent an angel to help him with the right decision. God always shows up for those who sign up to do His business (will) with their lives. Make it your business to do His business and He will give you His decisions for your hard decisions.
