Luke speaks of Mary, the mother of our Saviour, as a woman "highly favored by God". I believe that Mary was a woman of faith. Luke 1:45 says of Mary, "Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!"
Can that be said of us?
Life is full of surprises. Mary had an encounter with an angel and her life was changed forever.
We may find ourselves, at any given moment, with a surprise of our own. We have a friend who recently learned that she has breast cancer. Another young woman in our church lost her husband with no warning whatsoever.
Life is full of surprises and life is not fair.
The key is this - Do we believe that what God has said will be accomplished? Do we believe that God is who He says He is?
Only with a heart of faith can we endure the surprises that life brings. Only when we believe in who our God is can we walk a journey of grief and pain.
Within our family of faith, there are many who are struggling this Christmas season. Please pray for our sisters in Christ -
- in the next 7 days these women need your prayers...
Verna will have surgery for breast cancer.
Jan will have a knee replacement.
Nicole Larson will have a complicated surgery in San Antonio.
Carroll will have both knees replaced.
Ali needs your prayers as she grieves the loss of her husband.
Let's pray like women who believe that what God has said WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED!
