Matthew 1:1-23; Micah 5:2; John 1:46; Jeremiah 31:15

Here, God's protection for his son is vividly seen. God tells us to follow his voice and obey, just like Joseph and many other people in the Bible.

When God speaks, it is crucial for us to act. This is not only for our own benefit but also for those whom God has spoken about. Often, God does not immediately reveal the reasons behind his instructions, as he did with Joseph on his command to go to Egypt. However, in due time, we may come to understand the wisdom in his commands.

Just like Abraham and Joseph, in this case, we ought to listen to and follow God's instructions, for we will reap the benefits later on.
