Mary, the vessel the
Lord chose to be His earthly mother, had a tender heart for God. When God came to her and told her that she
would be the mother of Jesus, she humbly yielded to the will of God. I am sure that a lot of questions would come
to mind. “Why me? Am I up to the task? In what ways would raising Jesus be different
than raising other children? What will
His life be like? How can I nurture
Jesus in God’s ways and not be an unhealthy influence on His life?”
Mary probably thought
about such things, but her immediate response was, “Okay.” She did not cower away at the task God gave
her to do. She trusted God and knew that
it would be okay, that He would help her and show her how to be the mother of
Jesus. Mary simply submitted to the will
of God, even though she had every reason not to rise up to the task.
How about you? Are you living submissively to the Lord, trusting
Him to help you do what you cannot do alone?
Do you have enough confidence in the Lord to just simply say, “I am the
Lord’s servant, and I am willing to accept whatever He wants?”
The Lord never gives us a task to do that
is beyond our ability to do through Him.
Trust Him completely and see what great things He will do through you
