Scripture: Luke (NIV) 1:38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

Observation: Mary had just received unbelievable news. Though a virgin, she would be having a baby! Her response is one every Christian should take to heart and follow when God gives us an unbelievable assignment. “I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said.” If the first part is true that one is the Lord’s servant, then the second part is the completely logical response to God’s will.

Application: Like C. Austin Miles, the songwriter wrote:
“Not what I wish to be, nor where I wish to go.
For who am I that I should choose my way.
The Lord will choose for me, tis better far I know.
So let Him bid me go or stay.”

Prayer:   Heavenly Father, all I know about you, your wisdom and your love for me assures me that I can trust you to make the best decisions for my life. Amen
