Wednesday, December 4th: In this episode of The Daily Grind, John Spencer takes a closer look at Joseph, an often-overlooked yet vital figure in the Christmas story. While Mary rightly holds a prominent place in the narrative, Joseph’s silent strength and humble obedience offer profound lessons for us all. Despite his plans for a simple life as a carpenter in Nazareth, Joseph’s world was turned upside down by God’s divine plan. Through his unwavering kindness, righteousness, and immediate obedience to God’s commands—even in the face of societal judgment—Joseph modeled a life of integrity. John reflects on how Joseph’s quiet yet impactful life teaches us to walk humbly with God, surrender our plans to His will, and trust Him completely, even when no one else sees. Let Joseph’s legacy inspire you this Christmas to live with compassion, humility, and faithful obedience.
