TEXT: LUKE 1:26-40
God chose Mary for one of the most important acts of obedience he has ever demanded of anyone. God’s favour does not automatically bring instant success or fame. His mother of the Messiah, would lead to much pain; her son would be rejected and murdered. But through her son would come the world’s only hope, and this is why Mary has been praised by countless generations. She submitted herself to God when the announcement was made to her by the angel of God. Her submission was part of God’s plan to bring about our salvation. If sorrow weighs you down and dims your hope, think of Mary and ant patiently for God to finish working out his plan.
PRAYER: I need grace to be able to want for your appointed time for my life in Jesus name.
