—Luke 1:26-38
by: Gabrielle Watt.
I cannot imagine all the feelings Mary must have experienced all at once at the moment Gabriel told her she would give birth to a son, who would be called, “The Son of the Most High” (v.32). While this news must have been a lot to hear and digest, Mary accepted God’s plan in faith. Mary’s response is a model for how believers are to accept tasks from God, regardless of their difficulty. Notice how one of the first things Gabriel said to Mary was “the Lord is with you” (v.28). This was a reminder for Mary (and for us) that no matter how daunting a task from God may appear, He does not just give it and leave—He stays with us through it.
