The Man Joseph Was
Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
We don't have a lot of background on Joseph, Mary's husband but what we do see is he was an outstanding man. The last we hear of him is when he loses Jesus and Mary asked where Jesus went? Not sure if there was a connection to him then going missing. Don't lose mamma's boy now!
Gods plan for Mary wasn't easy for Joseph. He battled reconciling this event. Yet when its go time for the Messiah, Joseph handles the unknown in a just way. When you trust the LORD, than you trust the LORD when all seems unclear, as it did for Joseph. Everything God does in our lives isn't always explained right away. Joseph proved he loved Mary by not making a public example with her, or until the facts came across. The angel of the Lord would settle his fears. Don't have knee jerk reactions in life. Love is patient. It amazes me that the word says he was just but he was also a gracious merciful man as his Father and the Lord rubbed off on him. That's how one can truly be just.

In this world being in the flesh, I decided what is “just” in my fleshly way. Settling down in my own little world with my own thoughts, I didn’t even think of the covenant I made with God. I just wanted to set free a person that I believed was my prisoner of the moment in this life, because I believed that we made a mistake; but I didn’t consider the fact that God put us together. I didn’t consider the commitment that I made for him and I, and especially with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
nThank you Lord for the vessel you sent to me in times of grief and trouble. Like Joseph, I was confused. Thank you for messenger that holds your light so high so I can see through him your real love. Your love Lord Jesus that saves me. “And above all these things put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” Colossians 3:14.
