Life is a learning experience. There are so many seasons of change during our life span we must be discerning, ordered, and allow Holy to guide the way. In faith we must open our hearts and minds eye to seek God’s truths in order to navigate the world. God communicates to all of us in different ways.
I wonder if Mary and Joseph truly understood what the mission of raising Jesus would entail. As if the grueling travel, no room at the inn, and giving birth with animals was not enough stress, the infant babe, only days old, was threatened. Threats would pursue Jesus for the rest of His life.
An angel appears to Joseph in a dream, instructing him to take Mary and the baby Jesus to Egypt to escape King Herod’s pursuit to kill the child. Matthew 2:13
Joseph had learned to trust God’s word in his dreams. He did not hesitate. He gathered his family and fled to Egypt.
How have you learned to communicate with God in trust? Is there anything to unlearn that could be holding you back in your communication and relationship with God? Holy is always ready to help us relearn His Way.
