Luke Chapter 1: Verses 36-37 (NLT Translation)
“What’s more your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son, and is now in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.”
God sent the angel Gabriel to tell Mary she’d been chosen to bear His son. She didn’t doubt , but she did ask how it would happen, so Gabriel gave her an example of God’s power. She was related to Elizabeth. People used to say that Elizabeth was barren, but God changed all that. Now she was six months pregnant and an older mum to be. As Gabriel said, nothing is impossible with God!
People may have a perception about us, good or bad, true or false. But it doesn’t matter what people say about us. It’s what God wants to do in our lives that’s important, and that might involve totally transforming our lives. But what Gabriel told Mary is still true – nothing is impossible with God!
Dear Lord,
Mary trusted You completely. My faith is not always so strong. Help me to have the same faith and trust to allow You to outwork Your plans in my life. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
