Today's Readings: OT - Genesis 1:1-12/ NT - Matthew 1
“When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him...“ ~ Matthew 1:24
Waking up in the morning can be an exciting and hopeful experience. When we walk with Lord there’s an unending expectation for what He has planned. His presence and promise give us all that we need to conquer the unconquerable and achieve the unachievable. But it all begins with our stepping out with purpose to follow God’s leading.
Joseph ended the day with a troubled heart. But, after thoughtful consideration and a word from the Lord, Joseph woke up to a new day. He entered with clarity and crisp direction. While the path would be challenging and often quite difficult, the Lord’s presence and promise was sufficient. Now it was time to step out with purpose to follow God’s leading.
You may or may not have ended the year of 2023 with a troubled heart my friend. You may be unsure of what 2024 will bring your way. Yet, if you choose to walk with the Lord, His presence and promise will be all yours and much more. It’s a new day and New Year my friend, so wake up! And step out with purpose to follow the Lord’s leading.
“The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.”― Jim Elliot, martyred missionary
