But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
Matthew 1:20-21 NIV
I can imagine that Joseph may have had some doubts about the dream and if this was God speaking or not. But he believed enough so that he listened and obeyed.
I think that this is a good pattern for us to recognize. The key is how we respond to God's voice. We may have some doubts but trusting in God and moving forward is the key!
