Matthew 1:20

Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.”

Did you ever have something unexpected happen to you out of the blue that shook your foundation? Sometimes we simply cannot make sense of it…and there is no way around it. These are the times that we need to rely on a Greater Power than our own. Joseph, like Mary, must have been very much attuned to this Greater Power. Instead of clinging to a very rigid “either/or” mentality as in either Mary is a virgin and is not pregnant or she is not a virgin and she is pregnant…he opened himself to a “both/and” mentality: Mary is both a virgin and pregnant. I think the real lesson here is: Do we really believe that all things are possible with God (as Jesus stated in Matthew (19:26)? Joseph and Mary show us how to set aside our plans…and be open to God’s plans. Are we open to the possibility that God wants to give birth to something new in our lives? That “birthing” may involve an unexpected change!
