Introduction
Matthew 2:13–23 NKJV
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.” When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.” Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted, Because they are no more.” Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.” Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee. And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Trust and Obedience are CHOICES

We have the free will to choose to do right or wrong.
God makes the choice to allow us to make our choices. He doesn’t have to figure things out. He knows it all already.

Trust and Obedience recognizes God’s CARE

God will not lead us where God’s grace will not sustain us. He goes with us through the detours of life.
God gives strength to get through the tough times in life.

Trust and Obedience remembers God’s CONQUEST

God provides for us even through all the detours and miss-steps in life. God likes to use small and insignificant things to show how great and powerful He is!! God will deliver us from our sin and despair f we only allow Him to do so.
When detours come in your life, view them as God's providence. Detours are not always good at the time you are going through them, but through it all, He is molding your life. We wonder "why, God" but instead we should be thankful for these detours and learn from them.
Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
