You may read that Mary
does question the angel, much like Zachariah but it how she questioned the
angel that make it different. She's not
talking back. Zachariah wanted to know
how will he know the angel's message
will happen. He wanted to use his
knowledge.
Mary wanted to know how
it's possible, but she's not relying on what she's knew.
This young girl - an
example of good faith but I want to say she's more. She's obedient. "I am the Lord's
servant," Mary answered "May it be to me as you have said."
Later her cousin Elizabeth
said "Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her
will be accomplished."
I don't know about you
but I find it hard to continually believe what the Lord told me will be
accomplished sometimes. Obedient to God
is hard.
Don't take my word for
it, try it.
But see I want to be
obedient like Mary.
(I also want to sit at
the feet of Jesus like the another Mary of the bible (Mary and Martha) and know
what it truly important. [that for another post])
Anyway I want to be
obedient. Right now God's telling me to
wait. Not sure what I'm waiting for but
to wait. I want, in my quiet way, to
rush ahead of God and find what I'm waiting for.
It could be any number
of things...
But I know that I'm to
believe, pray and seek out God while I wait.
Again here where Mary is obedient she goes to her cousin's house to
wait.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I asked You to bless
those who are waiting for an answer. To help those waiting to seek Your
presence, for You to dwell in them. To
let them know they are loved and not alone.
You hear them and You are healing their brokenness as they wait.
In Your Holy Name, Lord
Jesus, I pray, Amen!
A servant of the Lord
Jesus,
Annie Laurie
