Obedience

So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt

Joseph, the father of Jesus, is a great example for all of us. When the Angel of the Lord told him to do what God wanted him to do, he did it right away without any hesitations. Are we like him? Do we do what God tells us to do right away? I believe we often think about it first over and over again and if it’s too hard for us, we might not want to do it. Why should we hesitate about doing what He wants us to do when He knows what’s best for us?

God gives us the freedom to choose whether to do it or not. He doesn't want to force us because He really loves us. We, as the children of God, should obey the will of our Father. If the task is too difficult for us to bear, we should ask the Lord for the power to do the task. He will grant us the power to do it.

No more hesitations, no more delaying, we do what our Father wants us to do in order to please Him with our lives. We should try to be more like Joseph who never questioned God’s plans for him. Just do it and the outcome will be great for us and for Him for sure.
