Mary

Have you ever really looked at the people throughout the Bible and examined how much faith they had? I am completely amazed every time I research this. Especially this time of the year, when I look at Mary.

Here we have a young lady who was not married and an Angel appeared to her and proclaimed that she would give birth to God's son. And her response was immediate! Lets look at this passage:
38 And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.
Luke 1:38 (NASB)

There was no "let me think about it" or "are you sure you have the right address", no.... Mary was eager to be used by God to fulfill his plan. Never mind that she would be ridiculed, possibly stoned, and exiled...... she said YES.

How do you answer God when He ask something of you? Have you ever felt God pulling you in a certain direction, or asking you to do something and you ignored Him. Thinking to yourself "that can't be God I feel, it must be the fajitas I had for lunch". God is still very much in control, He is still whispering truth to us (His children), and He still uses Angels everyday to protect us. The Bible says in Psalms that God commands the Angels to protect us.

We do serve; not only a risen savior, but a loving Father and He wants to very much be a part of our lives daily. Not just on Sundays. Are you listening and watching for His direction in your life?

Have a Blessed Day!!!
