Mary’s triumph<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLUKE 1:26-38<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTeenage virgin Mary had none of the earthly advantages of her priestly relative, but she scored over him in the only way that really mattered, her response to the Angel and the message brought. Her response was not of trembling doubt, asking for a \u2018sign,\u2019 but rather to enquire for further guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, put yourself into her place. She has met an angelic being who tells her that she will become pregnant despite being unmarried and that the child would become the King of an everlasting kingdom. The first bombshell would have made her fear for her life \u2013 an unmarried mother would have been in great physical danger \u2013 and the second would have made her fear for her sanity \u2026 if it wasn\u2019t for her great faith. Be honest, I don\u2019t think we would have responded in the way she did. She was correctly chosen for the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We too are chosen for tasks, perhaps not quite on the same level. What would our first reaction be when God comes calling? The unbelief of Zachariah, who was struck dumb or the faith of Mary, who became highly favoured in God\u2019s eye? Yet God always provides second chances. Zechariah\u2019s unbelief didn\u2019t deprive him from the blessing of John, the miracle baby. You may fail initially, as Zechariah did, but it\u2019s what you do next that is key.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
