REMAINING OPEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD

REMAINING OPEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD


Are you a DREAMER?
Do you have dreams
WHEN you sleep?
Do you REMEMBER
What you dreamed about?


“Such was his intention........” Matthew 1:20


Today we read about
Our great SAINT JOSEPH again


He was a RIGHTEOUS MAN
Who was
In the MIDDLE of a dilemma


He wanted to do RIGHT
By Mary-
Yet uphold=
The SPIRIT OF THE LAW


He was struggling
With the SCANDALOUS NEWS
Of Mary's pregnancy


And his own UNWILLINGNESS
To expose her
To shameful consequences


Remaining OPEN
To the VOICE OF GOD


“For he is
Our God=
And we are
The people
Of his pasture


The flock
Under his care


Today=if only you
Would hear
His VOICE.......” Psalm 95:7


“Whether you turn
To the right
Or to the left


Your ears will hear
A VOICE
Behind you saying=


'This is the way
WALK IN IT'” Isaiah 30:21


“So=as the
Holy Spirit says=


'Today=if you hear
His VOICE=
Do NOT harden
Your hearts'” Hebrews 3:7


Joseph LISTENED for
The VOICE OF GOD=he was
Remaining OPEN to it=
So should we


Joseph prayed=and FINALLY
Made a decision=to
Quietly DIVORCE MARY


But hen he received
NEW information IN A DREAM=
And took Mary
As his wife
And RAISED Jesus
As his own


He REMAINED OPEN
To the message=
He remained open
To the=VOICE OF GOD


“Consequently=faith comes
From hearing the MESSAGE


And the MESSAGE
Is heard
Through the WORD
About CHRIST” Romans 10:17


Today we PRAY to our Lord
And to the GREAT Saint Joseph
The Father of FAMILIES


PLEASE be with us
In our decision making
And HELP GUIDE US
In the way forward


As we REMAIN OPEN
To the VOICE OF GOD


In Jesus' name
