After spending some time in Egypt, Joseph again meets with an angel in a dream. This time, inviting Joseph, Mary and Jesus back to Israel. As soon as Joseph thinks it’s all clear and the danger is all gone, he learns Herod’s son, Archelaus is now in charge. The fear Joseph experiences is that this situation may be even worse than under Herod. However, he carries on being faithful to what God had spoken to him and sets out anyway.

Question: When has fear overwhelmed you?

Prayer: Lord, thank you that you meet with me in many different ways. Please speak to me, I want to grow closer to you and allow you to grow my faith.
