"Check Your Behavior "

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:19-20 NIV

"He had in mind to divorce her quietly." That part.

Now, If the truth be told...Some of us don't want to be quiet or to do things in a quiet manner.

Instead, We want to shout it from the root top and let everybody know how that person hurt us, how they did this, this, and this to us.

But not Joseph, He wasn't interested in getting back at Mary. He didn't want everybody to know that Mary had cheated on him and gotten pregnant (or at least that's what he believed to be true at the time).

If you have ever been cheated on or suspected a loved one of cheating...THEN you know, Joseph had to be hurting, but yet he was CHOOSING to behave quietly, to behave respectfully.

And Because of the way Joseph was planning to handle the situation: Quietly, Respectfully, NOT WANTING Mary to be disgraced...God came to him in a dream, in the form of an angel and told him what was really going on, and to NOT be afraid to take Mary as his wife. 

God came and eased Joseph's fears, came and put his concerns to rest. 

But why hasn't He came and done the same for some of us?

It's because of how we are planning (in our head) to handle the situation. God knows, if we have our way...

It's not going to be quiet, it's not going to respectful and somebody just might get hurt.

You see, Your behavior is always a choice despite what has been done to you, and UNTIL we learn to behave better,  to make some better choices; some questions will have to remain unanswered.

Until Next Sunday.
