Is the Easy Thing the Right Think

Read Matthew 1:21

Today’s Truth

Soon after Joseph chose to divorce Mary quietly, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.’”

Discussion Questions

How do you process difficult decisions?
What decisions are you facing that require greater faith? Take some time to pray and ask God what He would have you do.

Application

What’s easy is not always right. And what’s right is not always easy. Obeying God will sometimes make us look crazy. When we ask God to show us the way, He does. Sometimes, He affirms what we’re already thinking. But other times, as He did with Joseph, God leads us to a faith-filled option we never knew was possible.

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
