Numbers 1, Luke 1: 27-38, Psalm 38: 1-11
Luke 1: 38 (ESV)
“And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let
it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.”
I love Mary’s total obedience to what the angel
told her in verse 38 of Luke 1. She did not hesitate and had no doubts. She just
said “Yes” because she was a servant of the Lord. I wish I had that kind of
faith where I am an “automatic yes” to God, but I don’t. There’s always that
seed of doubt in my mind. Sometimes it’s just a tiny whisper and other times it’s
a loud roar when Holy Spirit tells me to do something, but it’s rarely a “Yes”.
I wish I had Mary’s kind of faith in God’s promises and words. I think it will
take a lifetime of living for me to get to a “Yes”. But it’s worth trying
because it makes me wonder what kind of life I would have if I was an “automatic
Yes” to God.
