- Those in whom Christ is formed will
show it. Christians
receive the Holy Spirit in to their lives, and people will notice. – Read
Acts 2:1-13
- Keep your eyes on God during a crisis. Believers should respond differently to problems
in their lives. – Read Philippians 4:4-7
- Trust God even when it doesn’t make
sense. God works on
an entirely different plane than we do.
8 “For
my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.9 “As
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.-
Isaiah 55:8-9
Remember: God always provides the best solution to
our problems.
20-23 While he was trying to figure a way out, he had a
dream. God’s angel spoke in the dream: “Joseph, son of David, don’t hesitate to
get married. Mary’s pregnancy is Spirit-conceived. God’s Holy Spirit has made
her pregnant. She will bring a son to birth, and when she does, you, Joseph,
will name him Jesus—‘God saves’—because he will save his people from their
sins.” This would bring the prophet’s embryonic sermon to full term: Watch for
this—a virgin will get pregnant and bear a son; They will name him Immanuel (Hebrew for “God
is with us”). Matthew 1:22-23Be wise today and always - remember God knows what you need best.
