But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "### son of David, do not be afraid to take ### home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."
— Matthew 1:20 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...Reassurance beyond understanding! That's the beginning of the Christ story for ###. What he cannot understand and what he had no part in creating will now be the groundbreaking journey of his own faithful and generous heart. He will be the human daddy to the Savior of the world. He will live the rest of his life knowing that a miracle happened with ### without his input or involvement. His faith, and God's use of him in this story, should awaken each of us to the incredible possibilities that God may have in store for us. Why not use this December to re-awaken your heart to the Holy One, born Jesus of Nazareth.
My Prayer...Father, I have long admired ### for his trust in you -- a trust that helped him deal with what he could not understand. Now I come, with wild-eyed ### excitement and bewilderment to be reminded again of the miracle of your Son and my Savior. Please make him real to me as I seek to know him better. In Jesus' name. Amen.
