1 Chronicles 25-26, Proverbs 21:15-31, Matthew 1
What God said to me – You’ve heard it said that you can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s even more true when it comes to people. Appearances can be deceptive. Look at Mary and Joseph. By all appearances they were at the bottom of the societal totem pole – and yet they were actually royalty – descended from the great King David. Not only that, but they were entrusted with the greatest treasure in all of history, My Son, and their faithful stewardship of that gift changed the world. So, as you look at your own life don’t focus on your lack of position or ability or talent – remember Mary and Joseph. Like them, when you became My child, you became royalty – the child of not just “a” king but of “the” King. Like them you have been entrusted with the greatest treasure in all of history, My Son, and your faithful stewardship of Him can change the world.
