God With Us

Dec 24, 2024    Dan Moorhead

In this powerful exploration of finding God's presence when life doesn't go as planned, we delve into the timeless story of Mary and Joseph from Matthew 1. Their journey reminds us that even when our carefully laid plans are disrupted, God's purpose prevails. The central message is profound yet simple: we don't have to understand the plan to trust that God has a purpose. This resonates deeply with our own experiences of unexpected turns in life, whether it's job loss, health challenges, or relationship struggles. The narrative beautifully illustrates how God can use our most challenging moments to fulfill His greater purpose, just as He used Mary and Joseph's difficult circumstances to bring about the birth of Jesus, our Savior. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to surrender control and trust in God's higher ways, finding comfort in the promise that He works all things for good for those who love Him.
