Know When To Fold Em

So Jesus has arrived on the planet, angels sang, treasures were given, and suddenly King Herod decides to Kill Jesus.  What?  Jesus is barely here and already they want him dead.  We can learn something from this.  When you are going to make an impact on this world, you are going to have some people and events try and stop you.  Think about this, I mean, it’s Jesus, wouldn’t everything just go smooth for him.  You know, not a problem.  In Matthew 2:13 an angel appears to Joseph in a dream.  “Get up,” he said, “take the child and mother and escape to Egypt.”  So He does.  You see God was keeping them safe.  God was the solution to the trouble.  You will have some King Herods in your life. Look, when you are in a position to make a huge impact, well the darkness is not going to be too happy about your light; you set out to do something good, and along comes trouble.  But what we learn from this story is that God has a solution for you.  And the answer came to Joseph as he slept.  So relax, don’t stress out, take a deep breath, get some sleep even.  You do the possible, let God handle the rest.
