The King Has Arrived Part 1 - Don’t Be Right, Be Led

Joseph's story in Matthew 1:18-24 reveals a powerful truth: being right is not the same as being led by God. When Mary told Joseph about her pregnancy, he had every legal right to divorce her quietly. However, God interrupted his plans through a dream, calling him to embrace a path that seemed risky and uncomfortable. Joseph's immediate obedience - taking Mary as his wife and naming the child Jesus - shows us what it looks like to prioritize God's leading over our own understanding. Sometimes God interrupts our carefully laid plans not just for our growth, but to bring His kingdom into the world through our willingness to step beyond our comfort zones and trust His greater purpose.
