He is generally not the first person we think of when it comes to the story of the Nativity, but he did play an important role. He was given the assignment to be the “step” father of the Son of God. This incredible gift was given in uncomfortable circumstances. His betrothed wife became pregnant and it wasn’t his…he trusted God anyway. People made fun of her and suggested he have her killed…he trusted God anyway.
You will (insert your current problem)…trust God anyway!
Sometimes God’s greatest gifts can we wrapped in quite uncomfortable circumstances.
