Life rarely goes as planned. We set timelines, map out goals, and aim for perfection, only to face interruptions that leave us confused. The story of Joseph and Mary reveals how God uses these interruptions to unfold His divine purpose.
Watch: Can You Be Trusted?
Lessons from Joseph’s Journey:
1. God’s Plans Interrupt Ours
Life’s interruptions are often divine redirections. While we make plans, God’s purpose will prevail (Proverbs 19:21).
2.Trust Over Fear
Fear can hinder us from embracing God’s purpose. Like Joseph, we must trust God, even when we don’t understand the full picture.
3. Grace Over Shame
Avoiding shame is human, but Jesus bore our shame so we wouldn’t have to (Psalm 25:3). Trusting Him keeps us from disgrace.
4. Don’t Let Opinions Block Miracles
Joseph ignored public perception and chose God’s plan. Never allow the opinions of others to rob you of divine opportunities.
5. Faith Requires Nurturing What God Has Planted
God plants seeds—dreams, talents, or ministries—that require your faithfulness to grow and bear fruit.
6. God Can Trust You When You Trust Him
Can God trust you with His plans, resources, and purpose? Alignment with His agenda brings blessings.
7. Divine Interruptions Lead to Greater Outcomes
When plans are disrupted, trust the One who holds the future. What seems confusing today may be the foundation of a miracle tomorrow.
Trust God enough for Him to trust you.

I have heard it said that if the Word was going to become flesh today, if Jesus was coming to be incarnated as a baby in a manger today, would you as a man be chosen to be the Joseph and would you as a woman be the present day Mary to be trusted with the very baby God ?
May we be the type of leader that we would follow. And may we be the type of child of God that God would trust His only begotten Son as a baby with us.
