“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 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.””Matthew 2:13-15 ESV

All,
This stands out because the Angel says, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you”. Sometimes God’s purpose is for us to stay and fight and sometimes it for us to flee. I’m glad we have a God that loves for us to go to Him with all our decisions. He knows what the future beholds, we do not. Even though a action may be disruptive in the moment, if it’s God’s will, He will give us peace in the process. Please pray that we and our friends seek God and be open to Him guiding us. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
Today’s reading is Matthew 2. Please consider reading through the New Testament with me over this year. We started the plan on the Holy Bible app yesterday, so let me know if you want to get the app and I will send you instructions.
