Becoming a Firebreak

from Asbury Church · host Senior Pastor Andrew Forrest

It’s so easy to be a conduit for negativity to spread. To encounter frustration or anxiety or hatred and anger, and then to spread it further.What’s so moving about the account of Joseph, when he finds out that Mary is pregnant, is what he does NOT do.He doesn’t make things worse. Rather, he just quietly makes his decision, and that action allows God to continue to work.In other words, Joseph acts like a spiritual firebreak.We could use more of that kind of thing these days.
