Jesus’ Early Childhood in Egypt: Lessons from Joseph
Guided by God through dreams, Joseph fled with Mary and the child Jesus to Egypt—an unexpected place that fulfilled ancient prophecy. Jesus retraced Israel’s story, not to repeat its failures, but to fulfill it perfectly. From Egypt to Nazareth, God worked through obscurity, danger, and obedience to accomplish His redemptive plan. The Messiah was preserved, prophecy was fulfilled, and hope entered the world—quietly, faithfully, and on God’s timetable.

Waiting on God: Lessons in Patience and Trust
Waiting is one of God’s recurring lessons in Scripture. From Joseph and Moses to Israel, Paul, and even Jesus, God often works through long seasons of waiting to grow patience, faith, and trust in His promises. Though waiting can lead to despair, God sees the bigger picture. He uses waiting to teach us reliance on Him, reveal His faithfulness, and shape our hearts—reminding us that His timing is never wasted.
