Matthew 2:13-15
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Sometimes God uses the least most expected ways to help you. Egypt was not exactly high on the list of favorite places to visit for the Jewish people. Throughout history, they didn’t exactly have the best of relationships with each other. Yet, God chose Egypt to protect His son. Maybe it was because He wanted to hide Him in the least likely spot to look. I really don’t know. All I know is I have found many times in my own life where help has come from the strangest places.
I can tell you of two dear friends of mine that I would have never ever have dreamed would be my friends. Not that I had anything against either of them. We just didn’t exactly start on the right foot. People I trusted in my life didn’t exactly make it easy at that time either. However, God knew I would need them in my life. Boy did I ever and still do! I guess what I am trying to tell you is to keep your minds and hearts open. What may seem like an Egypt in your life, may really be exactly what you need.
Lord, show me the way you want me to go and people I need to meet. Even if it is through Egypt. ~amen
