How will this be?

“Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” Luke 1:34

An angel delivered surprising news to Mary that was unusual. It would have been easy to doubt the news from the angel yet she approached the news with interest in how it would be fulfilled.

While some may doubt the good news, this Christmas we can reflect on God’s supernatural power that led Mary to a place of curiosity. May this curiosity create an expectation to see that supernatural move of the power of God in our lives. May it lead us to surrender what seems impossible to our human minds to a miracle-working God.

Isaiah 55 v 8-9 says “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

May these words build faith in us that God is well able to do that which transcends our ways and our thoughts.
