As I was reading Luke this evening, Luke 1:45 stood out! It was like I could see no other verse on the page. I kept going back to it, meditating on it, and writing it down in the margin of my Bible.
I know it's what God is speaking to me. Not just for me, but another girl on the other side of the screen. It might be you beautiful, girl.
Luke 1:45 says
"you are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said."
Elizabeth (John the Baptist's mom) says this to Mary (Jesus's mom.) Please go and read Luke 1 for the whole story.
Did you catch that? "You are blessed because you BELIEVED that the LORD WOULD DO WHAT HE SAID."
Mary BELIEVED!
Mary was a woman of FAITH!
She never QUESTIONED (not believing what she heard) Gabriel (angel!) (She did ask a question Luke 1:34.)
She might have felt confused and disturbed (Luke 1:29) when Gabriel first appeared to tell her she would conceive and give birth to JESUS!!!! Wouldn't you? I know I would! I don't blame the girl!
Mary, responded "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true." Luke 1:38
She believed it! Mary BELIEVED!
My point is, what has God promised you?
Do you BELIEVE that God will do what He says He will do?
How's your faith?
Are you questioning God because the promise is taking too long?
I want to encourage you to BELIEVE like Mary! Have FAITH like Mary regardless of your circumstance!
God keeps His promises! Luke 2:7
"She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them."
Mary gave birth to JESUS!!!!
God will also give birth to what He's promised you! Keep BELIEVING!
Mary BELIEVED!
(insert your name here) BELIEVED!
Love Your Kingdom Sister,
Jessica
