Joseph :  ” he had IN MIND…..to divorce her quietly ”       Matt. 19 & 20
”  But after he had ….CONSIDERED this ”

It just struck me that  Joseph’s mind went to the “flesh”  for just a bit……
When the reality comes to us…..
When life is in front of our face…..”  Mary pledged to be married, pregnant ”
WE so often – go to the flesh ….

God was watching Joseph and coaching him through the process….
” an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream ”

” what is conceived in her is ~ FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT ”
” what is conceived in her is ~  FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT”

What is going on in our lives, spoken in a whisper to us…
What is the thot, the nudging….the pondering that is going on in your life ?
The ” asking something of you” ….that is :

BEING CONCEIVED in YOU…….from the HOLY SPIRIT….
it is not you,
it is not the way you are planning your life….
but you know……
” it is from the HOLY SPIRIT ”

vs. 22 –   ” All this took place to fulfill what the LORD had said”
” All this took place to fulfill what the LORD had said”

What the HOLY SPIRIT put in Mary, asked of JOSEPH…….
the GREATEST of all :    JESUS CHRIST TO BE BORN,
to TAKE AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD

IN us today……the nudging, what is being conceived in us…..
is also to  ……..” fulfill what the LORD has said”
to get us to the place….
to get us to the place….. “‘ the why HE drew us unto HIMSELF …place”

He came to seek and to save the LOST…
He is putting that conception in us….to do the will of God to the extent
to do the will of God to the fullest

It was for JESUS CHRIST….JESUS to be born…
EXTREME…..spiritual birth

In our lives….HE desires an EXTREME spiritual life…..

What happens after you think about it ?
Do you..we, surrender like Mary
Do you..we, obey like Joseph….

What happens after you think about it ?
If we surrender to God
If we obey God….watch what will be born, spiritually through our lives…

What happens after I think about it ?

Merry CHRISTmas !
