VERSE FOR TODAY: For with God nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37).
HYMN FOR TODAY: "O Come All Ye Faithful"
This wonderful news the angel Gabriel brought Mary was so amazing, so astounding, that even today there are some who can't grasp it. The Holy Spirit had no limitation; this is difficult for our earthbound knowledge to comprehend. The Holy Spirit is not limited by time circumstances or obstacles or distance. The Holy Spirit can create something from nothing because He is not bound by any limitations.
We know how this story ends. Those of us who love Jesus our savior, think of Him as an adult who taught and healed and died for us. Still, the miracle of His birth is mind-boggling for us, no matter how many times we hear this wonderful story. Visualize what it must have been for the young girl Mary! She had indeed found favor with God, and had faith to know with God nothing is impossible.
Each believer had the choice to share Mary's convictions and trust. We stand in a long line of spiritual ancestors and forerunners who believed, and trusted, and acted on faith. The only limitation Holy Spirit ever meets are those we set up. As we share the wonder of Christ's birth, let's also pray to share the faith of His earthly parents, and especially His mother, Mary
PRAYER THOUGHTS: Heavenly Father, may we speak, pray, think, and live from the Spirits perspective, Help us to believe, trust, and act as You would have us to do. We know that nothing impossible with you, dearest God! In the name ofJesus, Your Son who fulfilled Your promise to us Amen.
