Matthew Chapter 1: Naming My Son

Something struck me this morning while I was reading through the genealogies of Matthew chapter 1. It is said of the patriarchs of old that only the mother or father could name their own child. An angel of the Lord comes to Joseph in a dream to inform him that his betrothed bride is pregnant with a son. Not only would this have been shocking for Joseph to be told the sex of the child in Mary’s womb; but for the angel to tell Joseph what to name him. By the Lord telling Joseph to name the baby Jesus, he was letting him know that the baby was his own very child. This baby was none other than the Son of God!

My name is Scott David and I live in Minnesota. My wife and I have been married for 23 years and we have 4 children. I am reformed in my doctrine and confessional; as we hold to the 1689 London Baptist Confession. I am convinced by Scripture that I am to lead my family to the throne of grace through daily devotions and prayer. These posts are currently the devotions that we do each night. If you decide to participate in doing these devotions with your family; know that we are doing them right along side you. May the Lord add his blessing to his Word and your desire to serve him through day by day devotions.
