“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her.”

Luke 1:45 (NIV)



SIMPLE FAITHFULNESS


Joseph obeyed. Mary obeyed. They simply did what God asked: travel, trust, keep going. Through their willingness, our Savior entered the world.
God often works through the quiet, unseen acts of obedience in our everyday lives:
• the prayers whispered in the dark
• the meals prepared
• the patience shown
• the love offered in exhaustion

These small acts of faithfulness create space for Jesus, the Light, to shine in our families and communities. Your obedience matters, even if it feels small.

I pray that as you end your week, God would help you trust that He is working through your daily faithfulness. Let your small acts of obedience make room for His light to shine.
