—Luke 1:34-38

Mary had just received some pretty hefty, life-changing news. It is easy for us to rejoice at the news that Mary would be the mother of Jesus. But Mary had to be filled with so many questions, doubts, and concerns. What would people think? Was this for real? How would she explain this to Joseph? How would this impact her future plans? Mary’s response to God, however, was one of obedience. Even though her life would never be the same, even though she might face criticism, she obeyed. Mary willingly took the role that God had for her in His master plan. When God wants to use us, are we willing to set aside our doubts and fears to trust in Him and His plan?
