“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer
Today’s Reading: Psalm 25:1-7
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
LORD God,
this is my prayer:
Show me your ways,
LORD, teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long (Psalm 25:4-5).
I pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

An Angel Appears to Joseph
This is how the birth of Jesus
the Messiah came about:
His mother Mary was pledged
to be married to Joseph,
but before they came together,
she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law,
and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace,
he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this,
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said,
“Joseph son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
She will give birth to a son,
and you are to give him the name Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.”
(Matthew 1:18-21 NIV)*

I love the Psalms 
I was just thinking about this part of the story. Isn’t it interesting that God told each of them the name for Jesus. Imagine their surprise when they told each other!
Good point! There was full agreement, and Jesus means Savior!
