So Mary said, “Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:38 NET)
When God spoke to Mary through the angel, He was telling her that she was going to give birth to the Savior of the world. Notice her response. She knew who she was, a servant of The Lord, and she accepted His word without "feedback." How many times does God tell us to do something, but then we give Him every excuse we can think of as to why we can't do what He wants us to do. We think we are so smart that we know better than God and we are trying to tell Him that He is wrong. First, if you are a believer, then you are a servant of God, not the other way around. Second, He sees the big picture. Third, it is Him doing it through you. If He is telling you to do something, He will give you what you need when you need it. So the next time God tells you to do something, your response should be like Mary's...let this happen according to Your word. When you do this, amazing things will happen, things you thought were impossible...remember nothing is impossible with God!
