Joseph was called to do a risky thing by the angel of the Lord. And because he took a risk, a miracle happened. Beloved, don’t be afraid of the risky process of taking part in the miracle. Too often we look at things through fear instead of faith and we get paralyzed from participating in God’s miraculous plan. When God told Joseph to call the baby’s name Jesus, Joseph did so, even before his name (salvation) came to be. We need to start calling, naming and life-ing that thing God has promised you and me.
