LUKE 1:26-38
This could be one of the most awesome sections in the entire Bible.
Read it again and write down anything that amazes you.
HOW ABOUT THESE?
An angel came down to Mary and said something like, “Hey, you are highly favored, and God is with you!” (v. 28)
Since God favored Mary, he chose her to give birth to the Messiah—as a virgin. She obviously had some questions as to how exactly this would happen! (vv. 30-34)
The angel told her not to be afraid—the Holy Spirit would conceive a child inside of her. He also reminded her that nothing is impossible with God (vv. 35-37). That statement alone is worth remembering and repeating.
Mary, who probably was a teenager, knew the heartache she’d face one day, and she responded with trust. She said she was the Lord’s servant and he was free to do with her life whatever he desired.
Learning from a fellow teenager, what’s your response as God calls you to trust and obey him in all areas of your life? Ask God to do whatever he needs to do to build your faith.
