Questions for Matthew 1:18-25
1) The whole conception is obviously unusual and disrupted Joseph’s plans. An angel had to tell Joseph not to divorce Mary. Oftentimes, things don’t go as planned, so we should be open to changes. God’s sovereign, unexpected interventions always supersede and redirect human expectations.
2) I never wanted to move, but each move opened up more of God’s grace to see what He has for me. God knows all and knows where He is leading me when I don’t. His knowledge supercedes all, so we need to lean into and trust Him.
