I was reading today in Luke chapter one when the angel appeared to Mary and tells her that she will be having a child... the son of God.
She is confused. The angel tells her that her relative Elizabeth is also going to have a child in her old age.
Then the angel says, "For nothing is impossible with God"
wow. And what is even more amazing is Mary's response.
She replies, " I am the Lord's servant, may it be done to me as you have said"
in other words, " I believe in God's promise"
Sometime I read the Christmas story and glaze over the importance of Mary's faith. We read it now and think, "of course she believes, it is Jesus that is coming..."
Imagine trying to tell your friends and family what is happening... or Joseph. This is a miracle from God, an angel came to visit her, but other people did not see this. They just see a young pregnant girl with a weird story.
Nothing is impossible with God.
Mary goes to visit Elizabeth and when she speaks to her, the baby inside jumps and Elizabeth says, "Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished"
Mary believed in what God had said, despite anything that came against her. I am sure she received lots of strange looks and comment directed at her, but she believed what God said.
What has God told you that sounds crazy? Is there something that God has laid on your heart to do, but you have no idea how in the world it is going to happen?
Nothing is impossible with God.
People may not like it, they may even try to get you to back down or stop doing it. But if God has called you to do something, He is faithful to accomplish the work in you.
