When Joseph learns of Mary’s pregnancy, everything points to betrayal, yet instead of reacting in anger, he chooses mercy. Joseph’s character made space for God’s voice and his quiet obedience shaped the story of redemption. His life teaches us a simple but powerful rhythm for faithful living: Pause. Pray. Protect. Proceed. Let’s let integrity lead before understanding comes, respond with mercy when hurt, and move forward in obedience when God speaks.
