Is your life preplanned? I mean down to every tiny detail? As a mom, you might think so. As a teen, you might think so. As a young adult, you might think so. But, really is your life preplanned. Do you do exactly what your mother did? Does your husband, or father, do exactly what his father did? Probably not. So to some degree, our lives are similar to what Mary and Joseph experienced - unexpected! Joseph and Mary were a typical Jewish couple that were to follow typical Jewish traditions with everything being planned out for them; Joseph would do what his father did as for a trade; Mary would do what her mother did - keep home and bear children! But then the unexpected happens - Mary is going to be the mother of the Messiah - the Lord Jesus Christ and Joseph was going to have to follow God's plan and be available for His leading.
What does flexible look like in your life? How does that differ from Mary and Joseph's life? What do you think God desires for your life? Does He want all flexability or availability?
