"Give God A Yes"
What a love about Mary as young as she was, she was her own person, but yet she was totally dependent on God.
So much so, that when the angel of the LORD came to her and told her, God had chosen her to get pregnant and carry Jesus in her womb .Even though, she didn't know how it would happen since she knew not a man (sexually) like that...She didn't go to Joseph (her fiance) asking for his approval, she just took God at His Word.
She responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.
Luke 1:26-38 NLT
Mary showed more strength and character at a young age than some of us twice her age at the time.
Why? Because a lot of us want to run and go consult with a man or woman, or whoever BEFORE we can give God a Yes, if we can, even give him a Yes at all.
A lot of us end up of worrying about the opinion of a man, the opinion of a woman and what they will think....Instead of giving concern as to what God just might be thinking in that moment.
Because remember the bible does say, He has thoughts that he thinks toward us. Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
I wonder, what God is thinking when we run to the man and woman of God, or just a man or woman in general BEFORE giving him an answer?
Mary didn't have that problem though...She didn't hesitate to give God a Yes. Even though, Joseph (her fiance) would have to be convinced later on that she was telling him the truth and still worthy of marriage. Still, Mary took the risk and gave God a Yes....What are you waiting on? Give God a Yes.
Matthew Chapter 1
In the Words of Apostle I.V. Hilliard:
When it is, you've heard from God...
Counsel with men no more!
Or as the Apostle Paul once wrote:
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10 NIV
BELOVED, You can't do both...Either, God gets a Yes or the people you're trying to please gets a Yes.
Until Next Sunday.
