“Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt”

All,
This sticks out because God tells Joseph to flee to Egypt. It sticks out because it shows the need of constant communication with God. Even if Joseph knew of Herod’s intentions, he could have thought that God will protect him no matter what. It seems there is always multiple “rational” paths we can take, but God has a path for His purpose and that’s the one He wants us to take. Please pray that we and our friends to have a deep relationship with God to respond to His nudges. Please pray for Jeremy and Gary’s group.
Challenge group:
Ok, we started the New Testament yesterday. We will read through the whole New Testament over the next year. It’s basically a chapter a day, 7 days a week for the next year. Read in your Bible or follow the plan I follow in the Bible app. The app is helpful because it reminds you if you have missed certain days and you can go back and read those. Hit the link above for the app. Look under reading plans and this is under partial Bible and the name is “Read through the New Testament”. You can also join as “friends” on the app to encourage one another. Let me know if you have any thoughts as your are reading with everyone.
