* Waiting for God to move is one of the best things you can do in your work.

* In Micah 5:2 it was prophesied that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem.

* All Jewish boys were raised to learn these Scriptures, so Joseph most likely knew this prophecy.

* I can see him working hard in Nazareth to provide for his pregnant fiancé, sticking up for her when people gossiped about her.

* In the back of his mind, he may have thought, “Wait - I know what the angel told us. But He’s supposed to come from Bethlehem - how is all that gonna work?”

* THEN ONE DAY!!!!

* It happened - a law was enacted, nailed to the door of City Hall, and Joseph knew once again God was moving!

* Imagine how this felt to Joseph.

* He could’ve moved to Bethlehem before this law, but it wouldn’t have been the right time.

* His one job was to be faithful where he was and wait for God to move!

* God wants us to be faithful in our work, just as Joseph was, and let Him make things happen in His time in His way.
