When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, – Matthew 2:13-14
It’s interesting that the only way that Joseph hears God is through dreams. The first recorded dream is when God tells Joseph to take Mary, who was pregnant, as his bride. His obedience to the first dream positioned him to obey when the dreams had even greater significance. It seems that how we respond to God’s promptings today set the stage for how much God can entrust to us in the future. Are we willing to take steps of faith toward God today?
