Love others as if they were family. (and often they are!) Joseph was a righteous man faced with a difficult situation. In compassion, he was ready to divorce Mary quietly, but God’s plan was for him to adopt the Son of God as his own. We also can adopt others into our lives as we love them. God will often direct us to do as He directed Joseph. Ends with John 1:12-13.

God makes great things out of the small. The wise men follow a star to Jerusalem. They are seeking the ruler mentioned in Micah 5:2. This great king would come out of the unlikeliest of places: Bethlehem. God loves taking what is small and insignificant and making something great and beautiful out of it. And that is what He does with our small efforts to honor Him at Christmas. Some people treat Jesus like one small ingredient out of many at Christmas, but actually, He is the main ingredient. Ends with John 3:16.

God’s people should be characterized by thankfulness. They should gather regularly to express this. We praise God for His incredibly powerful nature and for the way He shepherds us. And we keep our hearts from accusations against Him as ancient Israel did.
