Read:
Mary was a young woman living in Nazareth, a small, ordinary town. But one day, the extraordinary happened—an angel showed up and told Mary she would give birth to the Son of God.
There was no way to explain it to her family or her neighbors—or Joseph. Even though her head was spinning with questions, Mary’s response was sure: “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true” (Luke 1:38, NLT).
Mary had every reason to be confused, and she had every right to doubt what she was being told. But even though she didn’t have a clear picture, she said yes. She trusted what God was asking of her, as crazy as it sounded.
Has God ever asked you to do something that sounded crazy—that would have been impossible to explain to anyone else? Do you sense that he’s asking you to take a step of obedience like that right now? Remember Mary, and everything God accomplished through her willingness. What could he do with yours?
Pray: God, I’m yours. I don’t understand everything you’re asking, but I’m saying yes. I can’t wait to see what you accomplish. Amen.
