“Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her” (Luke 1:38).
Young, probably teenager Mary, was going about her day. Gabriel suddenly appeared to her. With very few words he announced that she was going to conceive a baby boy. Gabriel revealed her blessing (1:28), her baby’s name (1:31), and her baby’s greatness (1:32-33). He shared with her how this miracle would take place (1:34-25). Then without hesitation Mary promptly obeyed by declaring herself to be willing to do whatever the Lord wanted her to do. I am so blessed and challenged by the faith, courage, and devotion of this dear lady. How will this play out in your life today?
For today: I want to be willing to do whatever the Lord wants me to do. How about you?
