As we come to the end of the year, we can look back on God’s faithfulness and provision even in trials and difficulties. But as 2023 draws near, there can be a sense of uncertainty at what the year may bring. Joseph, the husband of Mary, faced uncertainty as he prepared to marry Mary and await the birth of a child that wasn’t his. Yet in that season of uncertainty, Joseph displayed confidence in the Word of God, belief in the empowering Spirit to do the impossible, and trust in the faithfulness of God. The unknown of the first Christmas speaks powerfully to us in these uncertain times that although we don’t know what the future holds, we know who holds the future.
