ADVENT DEVOTIONS FOR FAMILY AND PERSONAL WORSHIP

Monday, December 15 Read Matthew 2:13-15

After they were gone, an angel of the LORD suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream.

Joseph must have had an extremely sensitive heart to be used in the way he was during the time of Jesus’ life, especially during these days when Jesus was such a little, vulnerable, baby boy. Joseph’s mind must have been clear and clean, for God spoke to him in dreams.

Would you ask God to do a miracle in cleansing the hearts and minds of His people? Media influences such as television, movies, the music we listen to and the magazines we often read have so polluted our thought patterns that the discerning ability of God’s people has been disastrously affected. We search for God’s will in everyday matters; yet, we often get confused because of a value system that is ungodly.
