have you ever stopped to think that mary the one that GOD chose to be the mother of HIS SON had every reason to be worried? she's going to carry this great responsibility. but the truth is instead of worry, mary worshiped. in luke 1 we have mary's song of worship. instead of worrying, she worshiped. instead of panicking at the unknown, she praised and prayed.
i want to suggest that to you. when you come upon situations where you think you're in over your head, you're following GOD's will but it's scary, don't worry – worship, don't panic – pray and praise. anytime you're afraid – anytime i'm afraid – it means i've forgotten the promises of GOD. claim those promises.
JESUS said in luke 18:27 (niv), what is impossible with men is possible with GOD.
mary's cousin elizabeth understood why GOD chose mary. she said to mary in luke 1:45 (lb), you believed that GOD would do what HE said. that's why HE has given you this wonderful blessing.
GOD used mary because she desired his will, she decided to pay the cost for HIS will and she dared to trust HIM.
GOD uses people who desire HIS will more than anything else in life, who decide to pay the cost and who dare to trust HIS promises and step out and do it.
if GOD can take a teenage girl, a poor peasant teenager, with no education and choose her to be the mother of JESUS CHRIST, don't you think your excuse is pretty puny for why you're not letting GOD have all your life?
just a thought from the front porch…
