God Always Has a Plan: Herod, Joseph, and the Journey to Nazareth

Life may seem as if it is against us. Circumstances beyond our control stand like brick walls to our intended plans. Yet none of this is outside of God’s sovereignty. In today’s lesson, Joseph and Mary are faced with a life circumstance that posed a real threat: Herod’s ruthless decree to kill all the baby boys in the town they’d been staying in. Little Jesus would not survive unless they fled. Joseph trusted God’s plan and carried out each mission he was given to protect his family, fulfill God’s prophecy, and safeguard the future of our Savior.
