Thought

Joseph and Mary trusted God, even in what seemed like impossible circumstances. Although it made people question their reputation, Mary and Joseph believed that God had a big purpose for the baby Mary was going to have. They were able to trust God for everything they needed until the baby was born. Like Mary and Joseph, we can trust God to meet all our needs too—even during difficult times.
