Experience and Share Gods Gift of Peace even when your Future is Unclear

Jesus stepfather Joseph was given the great opportunity and the sometimes worrisome task of protecting and providing for Jesus and his mother Mary. Repeatedly an Angel would show up in Joseph’s dreams and tell him to move in a different direction to keep Jesus safe and to place Him right where God wanted Him to be. We read the Christmas story and see how this turned out well, but Joseph and Mary had to be faithful to trust God step by step, with a peace that surpasses understanding, even when their future was unclear. Watch or listen to be encouraged to trust God as He works out his plan in our lives and to experience peace that can only come from true faith in Jesus.
