Today’s portion. Matthew 1.
Matthew 1:21. “She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

Following Abraham, our Father of Faith, and all the generations onward, the challenge of faith comes to Joseph, this righteous man whose virgin fiancée is now pregnant. How was she to clear her name and how was he to keep his honor? By faith. They believed and looked past themselves and submitted to the Will of God and fulfilled what was spoken by the Lord through the prophets.

“Behold, the Virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel” which translated means, “God with us.” (vs 23, Isaiah 7:14)

God is with us, not as a angel appearing to us at times, but as the Holy Spirit, ever and always with us, guiding and teaching us all things. How do we submit to our loving Savior today?
