The Christmas story is a story about how God shows up in unexpected ways to unexpected people. There will be times in life where unexpected situations arise that disrupt carefully laid plans. These disruptions can bring personal turmoil, lead to second guessing and cause us to think God doesn’t care about us. Joseph may have felt some of these emotions as he learned about Mary’s pregnancy. What happened to him helps us see that God’s plan, even when it differs from ours, is what is best for us. The truth in Joseph’s story: Following God’s plan brings peace.
