They are engaged to be married. She is pregnant, and as the NLT puts it "obviously pregnant." They are traveling to Joseph's hometown to follow the law and register for the census.

Day 11: Boldness from Trusting

I continue to marvel at their boldness and trust in God and his GOOD NEWS that only they really knew at this point. The world looks at them as just an unmarried pregnant traveling couple. I can only imagine the looks they got as they met people along the way. Yet they didn't hide, they didn't shrink back even in the face of rejection by others. They knew this was the will of God. They may have understood that the world was about to change and change big time.

This is an example for me. This is a lesson for me today. I want this kind of boldness coming out of trust in God's will. I want that in my life. Thank you Lord for teaching me in your Word.

Here are the other days of my Journey to Bethlehem.
