(S)cripture-
Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.
(O)bservation-
This dream Joseph had confirmed the prophecy written in Isaiah. Even though Joseph had secretly planned to divorce Mary when he found that she had become pregnant he changed his mind as a result of what the Lord told him in the dream. He obeyed in faith, beyond his own understanding, and gave Mary's son the name Jesus - the name above all names and Savior from our sins.
(A)pplication-
I desire to have the faith and obedience of Joseph - to trust God and do His will when He speaks to me even if it is beyond my human understanding. Praise God for His Son Jesus who came to this world to save us and I want to be able to share this message with others.
(P)rayer-
Lord God, thank You for sending Your Son to save us - for Your great gift that redeemed us back to You. Help me to model Joseph in my faith and obedience and in doing so that I would carry out Your will and bring You glory. I love and praise You and in the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
