King Ahaz & St. Joseph: It all comes down to Trusting God!

Both men were asked to trust God: One did and one did not.  Ahaz was King of Israel at 20 years old.  Prophets Isaiah, Hosea and Micah all encouraged him to trust in God.  Rather he lived a wicked life, murdered his own son for pagan gods and made his alliance with the King of Assyria.  By the age of 36, Ahaz was dead and people in desolation.  St. Joseph trusted in God.  When he was about to made a wrong decision, God sent an Angel to intervene.  St. Joseph trusted in God even though doing God's Will would lead him through many hardships.  Eternally, St. Joseph is honored by Jesus & Mary and universal Church!
