KNOWING GODS WILL IS NOT ENOUGH Luke 1:34, Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? LUKE 1:26-38 Contrast Marys question and Gabriels response with the question that Zacharias asked Gabriel and the response that he received (Luke 1:18-20). You will find the questions are similar but the responses are totally different. Both Mary and Zacharias asked how these miracles would occur but it is evident that Mary was asking how in faith while Zacharias was asking how in unbelief. It is a clear Bible teaching that unbelief doesnt please God (Heb. 11:6), but the Lord doesnt mind us questioning Him for the purpose of instruction so we can cooperate with His will in our lives. Abram knew that it was Gods will for him to have a son but Abram and Sarai came up with their own plan which caused them and the world much grief (Gen. 16:1-6). Abram would have avoided many problems if he had asked the Lord how He was going to accomplish this miraculous event. If Mary had not questioned this angel, she might have reasoned that Jesus would be born through the natural union of her and Joseph. This would have been a grave mistake. It would have disqualified her from being used. Its not enough just to know Gods will. We need to continue to seek the Lord until we know Gods plan for accomplishing that will
