He did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him

“When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.” (MT 1: 24)  

Our relationship with God is not only in our hearts or thoughts, but also in our actions: “when Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him.” Every day we can put our faith and relationship with God into action: at home or in our office, on the street or in the shop.
