The Promise of Spring
Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.—Zechariah 10:1 (NIV)

Joseph’s Abiding Faith
When Joseph woke up, he did what the
angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took Mary home as his wife.—Matthew 1:24 NIV
As we reflect on Advent, look to Joseph’s faith and
how his actions are shaped by his deep trust in God.
Joseph followed the direction of the angel in his dream
and did not hesitate to wed Mary. Later in subsequent
dreams, Joseph did as he was told with unquestioning
obedience.
Heavenly father, in this time of preparation and renewal
help me to be obedient to Your Will and Your Word.
