Mary responded, “I am
the Lord’s servant. May everything you
have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her. Luke
1:38
Mary stepped up and followed God’s direction for her life
despite the fact that she was only a young and unwed teenager, that could have
faced a serious punishment (death) for bearing a child outside of marriage.
Just like Mary, we too need to take the risk of doing things
God’s way. When God asks us to follow
him, he doesn't always provide us all of the information up front. We have to step out in faith and when we do,
he will give us enough guidance to see where to take our next steps.
Mary risked her life, her marriage, her reputation, and
future by becoming the mother of Jesus. Following God’s will can be risky, but
God promises us that the rewards will always outweigh the risk!
