Joseph listened to God. God’s angels help guide Joseph to raise and protect the baby and boy Jesus. Wouldn’t life be much easier if we had angels helping us. Thanks be to God and Jesus for providing the Holy Spirit. He is our helper, available through our prayer life and connects with our spirit to guide us and help us.
Thank you Lord Jesus!! -
Allen Madding says:
I am always amazed at how Joseph listened and obeyed to what he was told in his dreams. How obedient are we to the Holy Spirit? Do we immediately follow his instruction? Or do we spend days questioning, wondering, asking why, asking is this from God, wrestling it against our own will? I have. Father forgive me for questioning and wrestling with your Holy Spirit. Help me to listen intently and follow your instruction.

Have to wonder if Jesus access to the scriptures was just the temple an d synagogues If that is the case it sure appears Joseph himself spent plenty of time there chewing on the word as well.
