Good morning! Luke 2 awaits! Imagine expecting your first child, all the anticipation and planning. And then suddenly everything changes. Not knowing where you will stay after making a very long trip on a donkey while 9 months pregnant! But Mary and Joseph were faithful to God's
…didn't probably complain along the way; they were only human. But the most important thing to remember is this: God knew exactly what he wanted. His plan is not ours. Jesus was born into such humble conditions and would die in agony for us and our sins!
As you head to church today: How many other churches will you pass along the way?
As you pass each one, pray for them!
Different denominations, worship styles, and traditions—but brothers and sisters faithfully gathering in the name of Jesus.
Pray Matthew 16:18 over them: “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Pray they remain faithful to God and His Word, their leaders have courage and perseverance, and their people keep pointing others to Jesus.

Moses climbs a mountain, and God shows him the promised land. Moses dies there, and Joshua takes over leading Israel.
…weren’t the whole story. We also see a man who walked with God and faithfully led His people.
I can get so caught up in what I want to accomplish that I forget to ask WHO I’m becoming. I pray we can be a people, “the Lord knew face to face.”
Are we making time to know God?
Please read Deuteronomy 33. you ever walked into something new and wondered if you were ready? A new job, a hard conversation, or a season you didn't see coming?
Moses blesses the tribes of Israel before his death. They are about to enter the promised land but Moses isn’t going
Sometimes I spend so much energy trying to figure everything out that I forget who is holding me. God doesn't promise that every new season will be easy. But we can bring our fears to Him and trust His character, even when we don't know what comes next.
