Challenges

• Matthew 2:1 (NIV)

---

I'm struck by Joseph's obedience yet - how difficult to move his family and be threatened all the time. Hearing God's direction and moving allowed for God's plan to play out - but Joseph had to still go through these challenges and constant threats.

My application: When I face strife (although much less threatening), I need to trust God's leading and wherever I end up might have more of a plan than what I could orchestrate. It is the strife that might get me to where God wants me.
