Joseph’s Faithfulness
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.—Matthew 1:24–25 (ESV)

Honoring Good Friday
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.—Matthew 12:40 (NIV)
Jesus ’ followers thought it was the end of everything on that solemn Friday. They were despondent, convinced that death had won—and yet it was only the beginning. In just three days, everything would turn around. God was at work—they only needed to hold onto the Resurrection.
Dear Lord, when I encounter dark Fridays in my life—guide me to focus on the gift of bright Sundays ahead.
