We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.

Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.

As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.

Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

When Joseph discovered Mary was pregnant, he faced a heart-wrenching decision. According to the law, he had every right to publicly expose her, which would have brought shame and possibly even death. But Joseph chose a different path - one of quiet mercy and protection. This wasn't weakness; it was kingdom righteousness in action. In our daily lives, we often find ourselves in Joseph's position. Someone hurts us, betrays our trust, or fails to meet our expectations. Our natural instinct might be to expose their faults, seek revenge, or at least make sure others know what they did to us. But Joseph shows us a better way. True righteousness isn't about being technically correct or legally justified. It's about reflecting God's heart of compassion. When we choose mercy over vengeance, we demonstrate that we belong to a different kingdom - one where love triumphs over law, where protection matters more than being proven right. This doesn't mean we ignore wrongdoing or fail to address sin. Rather, it means our motivation shifts from self-protection to restoration. We seek to heal rather than harm, to build up rather than tear down. This kind of righteousness can only come from a heart that has been transformed by God's own mercy toward us.

Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

- Philippians 4:4
