Tag: Mary & Joseph

To be Chosen by God to Give Birth to 'His Only Son', and then to 'Look After Him' and 'Raise Him' is the greatest Honor and Privilege that anyone could be given.

Mary & Joseph were Engaged to be Married and would have been Excited about their Wedding. 

They both had a Strong Faith & Belief in God and they would have been Living their Lives in the Best way they could ~ God's Way.

God had Guided all people Not to be Intimate and to remain a virgin until After they were Married. 
At that time the rulers made it that if a women broke God's Guidance, she would be Stoned to death as punishment.

Mary & Joseph would have known the Importance of sticking to God's Guidance and they remained virgins until after they were Married.

They Lived at a time when The Roman Empire ruled with violence and intimidation, and they made it Very Difficult for people to Live a Happy Life. Many people were living in fear.

Most people back then knew 'Scripture' and God had said that He will send 'The Messiah' to Set Them Free.

Even in Difficult situations there's 'Always Hope', and You can 'Be Positive' knowing that 'God Will Help You'.

Many people though Chose to ignore God's Word and they wanted to be 'In Control', but they actually made the situation worse by Interfering.

God had a 'Plan Ready', to send His Son to 'Set People Free', but He needed to Find the Right People who would 'Trust Him' and 'Believe' in 'His Plan'.

Mary & Joseph had obviously Demonstrated to God by the Way they had already been 'Living their Lives' that they would 'Trust Him' with His Plan. 
Even though it would have 'Seemed' impossible that Mary could be pregnant as she was a virgin, they Still Trusted God. 
They 'Believed' that 'With God, Nothing will be impossible' (Luke 1:37).

They must have Shown God that 'He' could 'Trust Them' with His Son,
because as well as being an Honor & Privilege to Raise God's Son, it's also a Big Responsibility.

When God has a 'Plan' He needs to know that the people He 'Trusts' the Plan with will 'Take Good Care of It' and 'Do the Best they can to Fulfill It'.

Even though Mary & Joseph didn't Understand how God's Plan could happen, they 'Welcomed It' with Faith, Trust & Belief in the 'Amazing Abilities of God'.

God is Limitless in what He can Achieve.

He made the Stars & the Universe, the Flowers & the Trees, the Birds & the Wildlife, the Butterflies & Bees.

If God says He will Do something, you can be 'Sure' that 'He Will Do it'.

~ Never Doubt God, Simply Believe.

When The Angel told Mary that she would conceive from the Holy Spirit and Give Birth to God's Son, her response was "Let it be done to me according to Your word". ~ WOW, that's Faith. 

Every time The Angel spoke to Joseph, he Immediately Did what The Angel said, even when it meant getting up in the Night to pack all their belongings and Leave their home to escape to Egypt because King Herod was trying to kill Jesus after He had been Born (see Matthew 2:13-14). ~ WOW, that's Trust.

Whatever God Guided Mary & Joseph to 'Do', they both 'Did It'.
They Did It with Faith, Trust & Belief that God's Way is The Best Way.

Because of that, God's Plan was Fulfilled. His Son came to earth and was Born as a Human being ~ God in Person, 'God With us'.

We can all now Enjoy a 'Personal Relationship' with God through His Son Jesus Christ. That's a Wonderful Blessing for us All.

When people 'Do' the 'Will of God', it will always Bless other people as well as themselves.

Mary & Joseph would have Lived the Best possible Life because they Believed God's Way and 'Did His Will'.

We All have a Lot to be 'Thankful' for to Mary & Joseph.

~ Their Faith has Helped 'Save' people all around the world.
~ Their Trust has Helped 'Set People Free'.
~ Their Belief has Given us a Wonderful example of what can be Achieved when God & people are in Complete Harmony. 

God still has many 'Plans & Dreams' that He is Waiting to Achieve.
He Simply needs to Find the Right people who are 'Willing' to put their 'Faith, Trust & Belief' in Him.

~ Are You 'Willing' ?
