What is your response to the word of God?
In the book of of Luke 1:26-38 we see how the angel visited Mary and gave her the news about her conceiving as a virgin.
The amazing thing about this Bible passage is her response at the end in verse 38 “I am the lord’s servant said Mary,may it happen to me as you have said”
She didn't hesitate,neither did she argue nor complain,worry or give any suggestions.
That's what some of us Christians lack today,when God puts something in our hearts to do or tells us to do something, we question, give suggestions on what we think it should be, Mary is good example to us this season, she only believed the word of God through the Angel, she just believed the word in verse 37 “for there's nothing that God cannot do”
This season God would put something in our hearts to do, while some of us he has already, it can be as small as giving something away or starting something new,whatever it is just obey, don't complain or give suggestions on what you think it should be, just sit back, relax,and watch God Birth something great out of you this season and I want us to remember this “God intending to use us is a Blessing to us” when persecutions come what do we do,what extent do we go in order to make the dream of God come through and it's not just being obedient in the beginning but our obedience throughout the whole process, God doesn't start what he cannot finish, God wants to see us to the end. Our ability to be obedient through the process is where the fulfillment lies.
We are celebrating because someone decided to trust God,someone kept herself, sacrificed, didn't give up even when the persecutions came.
As God used Mary, he also wants to use us today. As you celebrate this season be sensitive to his words and yield to his word.
Merry Christmas
