SCRIPTURE
"But
after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said, Joseph son of David do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."
Matthew 1:20
the
secret sauce
OBSERVATION
Gabriel
visited Mary before she became pregnant, but Mary
told
Joseph about the baby after she became pregnant. While it is unclear how much
time passed from the time Mary found out she would become pregnant to the time
that the baby was actually conceived within her, it must have taken incredible
courage for Mary to go to her fiancé and tell him that she was already
pregnant. It must have also required uite a bit of courage from Joseph to take
the risk of keeping her as his wife.
APPLICATION
The
best recipe for success in marriage is when you and your spouse choose to trust
God individually and together at the same time. Whether through trials, through
service opportunities, or simply attending church together, look for ways to
live out your faith with your spouse for a more meaningful and intimate
relationship.
PRAYER
God,
create deeper and more meaningful relationships with loved ones around me by giving
me the discipline to live out my faith alongside others who do the same. Amen
Toe hiki‘i mai pe heni ‘a e fakapulipuli
ki he mali lelei ‘o fakatatau ki he fakamatala ‘oku ha atu ‘i ‘olunga –
(Would
