“After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 1:18 NKJV).
Joseph was perched firmly on his branch in the tree. Predictable and solid, Joseph had no intention of leaving it. That is, until he was told to go out on a limb. Conceived by the Holy Spirit? Come on! Who will believe me? Pride told him not to do it. But God told him to do it.
I have a feeling you can relate to Joseph. One foot in your will and one foot in his. His will or yours? Disrupting, isn’t it? You can bet it won’t be easy. Limb-climbing has never been – ask Joseph. Or Better yet, ask Jesus. He knows better than anyone the cost of hanging on a tree.
