Today’s Scripture
“…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.’”
(Matthew 1:20, NLT)
Do Not Be Afraid
Have you ever felt overwhelmed or even afraid of what God has called you to do? Maybe you were pursuing a dream or goal and things didn’t turn out the way you planned. Joseph had planned to take Mary as his wife, but when he found out she was pregnant, he didn’t know what to think. He was afraid that he might be making a mistake because things didn’t turn out the way he planned. But God sent a messenger in a dream to reassure Joseph that he was on the right path.
Today let me reassure you that God knows right where you are, and He knows how to get you to where you need to be. Even when things don’t go the way you planned, His hand is on you. Do not be afraid. Trust that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf and that He will lead you into the life of blessing He has prepared for you.
A Prayer for Today
“Father in heaven, I choose to trust in You. Even when things don’t go the way I planned, I know You are at work in my life. Thank You for Your perfect love which casts out all fear. I love You and surrender every area of my life to You in Jesus’ name. Amen. “
Amen. Christ, the greatest gift God gave to human kind. God Bless Zambia and God Bless the plans You have for this land!
Blessed be the name of Christ the Supreme King. He was equal to God the Father but did not see himself as being equal. Despite his holiness, he humbled himself to be born as a baby in a lowly stable to show us that material things are nothing!! Worthy is HE, Blessed is HE, now and forever more.
Amen God bless all of us.
Come let’s adore him, Christ is king of Kings and Lord of Lords,He is coming back again. People get ready. Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
Indeed God maketh a way where there is no way. Similarly our plans are but intentions/draft until God confirms them.
Its important to realise this aspect as many of us have misled ourselves believing we are law unto ourselves. Whatever we do we need to seek God’s approval. May we always decrease as he increases.
