Text : Matthew 1:20.
*After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” he said, “don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.*
*He doesn't give a vision without a commensurate provision. He is more than able to foot all the bills of everything He ordered for. Learn to lean on Him.*
As a virgin girl already betrothed to Joseph, Mary agreed with God to carry our Lord. By implication, she agreed to be pregnant albeit by the Holy Spirit.
Because you know how the story ended, it's possible to gloss over the mess that this decision created for Mary.
She was discovered to be pregnant and Joseph her fiance knew he wasn't responsible. Her fiance, Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.
However, God stepped in to fix the situation. He knew Mary was innocent and He also knew Joseph was in the dark as to what is going on.
Humanly speaking, there's no way Mary could explain to Joseph that no man slept with her before she became pregnant. It's only God that can see what no man can see.
*If He sent you on an assignment that seems like an impossible mission, He will also go ahead of you to make every crooked way straight.*
All He is requesting from you is your obedience. *There are times He will tell you to do things that are Humanly impossible, because He is not a man, He doesn't have to operate on your frequency. Just obey, and He will use your life to showcase His Glory.*
If by reason of your obedience, your life seems to be in a mess, relax, He will fix it and you will come out shining.
Mary did not have to jump from pillar to post in proving her innocence, God fixed it for her.
Joseph didn't have to divorce her, instead, he went ahead to take her in as his wife,yet he was patient enough not to have sex with her until she was delivered of her baby.
Not only that, he stood by her to foot the bills, and protect her and her baby from harm. From the time he agreed to do God's bidding, all other instructions as to how the child should be protected from harm was directed at Joseph.
God is a master strategist. He will fix whatever needed to be fixed in your life when you walk according to His instructions.
