"For with God nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37)
"For He who is mighty has done great things for me." (Luke 1:49)
A virgin conceived and bore a son. Who would have thought of such a thing? Who would have imagined such a thing? Yet, by the power of the Holy Spirit, it came to pass.
How did Mary feel? What was her thoughts? Did she really believe she would give birth to a child after the angel Gabriel left?
We know that she really did. She indeed has great faith. Look at the way she responded.
"Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." (1:38) And she also immediately arose to go to Elizabeth, into the hill country (1:39).
If she had not believe, she wouldn't have gone through that trouble.
Yes, she had her doubts. She asked, "How can this be...?" (1:34), but she humbly accepted the power of the Highest, and accepted her own status as a lowly maidservant of the Lord.
At the end of the day, she recognised how the Lord Almighty has done great things for her, even though she was just a lowly servant.
What about us today?
Have we considered the great things He has done for us?
Have we considered the great things He would have done on us if we have had the faith to believe in them?
Mary believed in that which most people would believed as impossible. She knew that with God, nothing is impossible.
What God has purpose, He will bring it to pass (Isaiah 14:24; 46:11).
"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3)
