24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
I ask myself again, 'Can I do what He commands me to do?' How strong is my faith to be able to risk everything to complete the tasks that he assigns to me. What if He wants me to quit my job and work with the poor somewhere. I risk losing everything I have (material posses ions like house, car, credit rating) and becoming just as poor as those I serve. I know that Jesus had nothing when he was alive (materials wise at least) but I have a hard time imagining living like that. Would it be harder in today's world to live like that? Was it easier in His time to eke out a living? I think we can only pray and be still so that we clearly hear what He is telling us to do. Go forward with that knowing that He will ensure we don't suffer more than needed.
