- But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.”
- Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - To you, O God of my ancestors,
I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and power,
and have now revealed to me what we asked of you,
for you have revealed to us what the king ordered.
Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.Next verse!With image
