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!
