🌙 Still awake?
Every evening, a little closer to Jesus.
📅 July 23
✅ Joseph Trusts
📖 Matthew 1:24–25
“When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took Mary as his wife.”
Matthew 1:24
Trust is not shown in words.
Trust is shown in decisions.
Joseph could have found many excuses.
He could have said:
“This is too risky for me.”
“What will people think?”
“Why me?”
But he did not.
When he woke up, he did not begin searching for answers all over again.
He set out on the path before him.
He did what God had told him to do.
That impresses me.
Joseph probably still did not understand everything.
But he knew enough to take the next step.
Perhaps you are waiting for God to show you His entire plan.
But often God shows us only the next step.
And then He invites us to trust Him.
Faith does not mean knowing everything.
Faith means trusting the One who knows everything.
Perhaps God is not calling you to do something great today.
Perhaps He is simply inviting you to take the next small step.
An honest prayer.
A word of reconciliation.
A decision to do what is right.
A step of trust.
And sometimes that one step changes an entire life.
💭 Think About It
What next step does God want you to take today?
🙏 Prayer
Dear Papa,
thank You for guiding me.
Even when I cannot see the whole path, I want to trust You.
Give me the courage to take the next step You show me.
Help me to trust You more than I trust my fear.
I want to obey You.
Amen.
🌙 Sleep well.
Your loving Papa takes the next step with you.
See you tomorrow.
