And having come in, the angel said to
her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among
women!” - Luke 1:28.
Mary - Chosen by God
God chose Mary as an instrument
to accomplish His plan of redemption in the world. The angel Gabriel appeared
to Mary who was betrothed to Joseph and announced that she would give birth to Jesus,
the "Son of the Most High". Then the angel said to her, “Do not be
afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive
in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus - Luke 1:30,31.
We too are chosen by God as instruments to carry Him into the world.
Mary’s faith
When
angel told Mary about the plan of God to her, she wondered how can this happen
to her as she was a virgin. The angel told her that the Holy Spirit will be
upon her and nothing will be impossible for God. For with God nothing will be
impossible - Luke 1:37. Mary chose to believe God. As she submitted herself to God’s
assignment with joy, God came to the world as Savior. Blessed
is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were
told her from the Lord - Luke 1:45. Let us believe the promises of God that will never fail in our life.
Mary’s Song
Mary praised the Mighty God who had great things in her life. And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name" - Luke 1:46-49. Let us praise God for all the good things He had done in our life.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for
all the great and mighty things You have done in our life. We submit ourselves
to Your will. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
