The Lord’s Servant
“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel…”? Luke 1:34
This young Jewish girl knew she was a virgin. She must have been in a state of utter amazement when the prononcement came that she was to have a child.
“ he Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the most high will overshadow you so the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God…” Luke 1:35
Mary was chosen for this Divine appointment because she was pure, devoted, faith filled and made ready by God Almighty.
Even though it seemed an impossibility– she received and believed.
” For with God nothing is impossible.” Luke 1:37
WHAT A TRUTH FOR US TO PONDER AS WE ENTER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
What are your impossibilities?
Is there a roadblock, a mountain– a “no way through“?
Our God loves the impossible because when HE does it –you and I will never be able to take credit for it! We are living in a time where the extreme is the normal and the normal doesn’t seem to exist.
BUT OUR GOD Is still WITH US.( Acts 17:27)
We are not alone.
HE knows ALL things because HE IS IN ALL THINGS!
On our own–We run out of time, love, money, patience and eventually hope.
IN HIM the very impossibility becomes a bridge of faith to the impossible!
Mary answered the overwhelming challenge with these words– ” I am the Lord’s servant.” Luke1:38a
Are you?
If you are, then– the IMPOSSIBLITIES of your life are pregnant with supernatural POSSIBILITY!
Mary acknowledged the SOVEREIGNTY of God when she said” May it be to me as you have said.” Mark 1:38b
Mary birthed Jesus, the Savior of the world.
From that moment forward– impossibilities became possible!
Why?
Because as HE grew into manhood and went to a Cross, shedding His blood for the sin of all mankind ( yours and mine)– we were given the eternal gift of belonging to God– FOREVER– identity, resource, a family!
Hallelujah what a Savior!
Born in a lowly manager, HE was.
Everything surrounding his birth seemed impossible.
What is surrounding your life at this moment?
Surrender your burden to the burden bearer.
HE has enough of whatever you need.
He is the gift.
Your heart could be the manager for His spiritual life in you.
Jesus says, ” Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
Lay down your pain, anxiety, fear, isolation–your past and open your heart to Jesus.
If you are a believer bogged down in circumstance– give it over to Him. Reclaim your inheritance as a servant. He loves to ” make all things new.” Look to Him –the author and finisher of your faith. HE IS ABLE.
GET BACK IN FOCUS!
If you have never been assured that you are his child– pray with me:
” Jesus, I come to YOU. Yes, I ‘ve messed up my life but I long to know YOU. I need to belong to YOU. I want YOU as my Savior, my God, my Refuge. Forgive me. Cleanse me from all my sin for I do believe YOU went to a CROSS long ago and shed your blood for me– for my sin. Thank YOU. From this moment forward I will choose to believe that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE— because I now KNOW I belong to YOU as your child. I want to be YOUR SERVANT. I now believe and receive. Hear my prayer for I do pray it in YOUR NAME alone.”
Let us vow to remember what His birth brought to this world.
Christmas begins in the heart.
Merry Christmas to all.
HE REIGNS!
God Bless each of you,
Billie
