Joseph obeyed the Lord without hesitation or delay. He obeyed when he took Mary as his wife. He obeyed when he was commanded to go to Egypt. He obeyed when he returned to Israel. It is one thing to hear God speak, and it is another to obey. Joseph did both. May our obedience to our Father and the call of the gospel be like his!
“Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child’s life are dead.” So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.” Matthew 2:20-21 (NASB)
