Matthew 2

What jumps out at me in chapter 2 is God's omniscience. He knows exactly when Jesus will die on the cross and so absolutely nothing (not even Herod's evil plan to kill children) will sidetrack God's path for Jesus. So too in my life. Until the time is right for me to depart, absolutely nothing can take me out! Think of it as divine body armor! Not that this is a license for reckless living, but encouragement to endure and serve while we discover and live God's perfect plan for our lives! SWC

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him. (ESV) Matthew 2:13
