The #Gospel According to Mary: ...Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name #Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 Do you sometimes face what may seem like impossible obstacles? Perhaps youre facing one now. In these times, take heart because God can do the impossible. He did the impossible in the life of one of His #humble #servants, Mary, the #mother of our Lord, the most famous woman in the world. The promise of #Isaiah 7:14 had been made long ago. All #Jews knew about it. In all the godly homes, mothers would tell their daughters about that #promise, and a thrill would go through the young girls hearts. It seemed an inspired #dream that had blossomed only to fade with each passing century. Mary knew the #Scriptures; she had hidden #GodsWord in her heart. And when the time came and the angel of the #Lord spoke to her, SHE RECOGNIZED the words of the prophet Isaiah. She, Mary, would give birth to the #Son of the #MostHigh, who would rule over the house of Jacob! Mary heard and #believed. She placed her will and her dreams of a life with Joseph under Gods will, under the awesome fulfillment of the prophesies of the #Messiah. The mystery of Mary is a paradox--adored by some, ignored by others. What is the truth about this one chosen by #God, who in her own life experienced the paradox of Gods blessing? To be chosen by God involved not only a crown of joy, but also a cross of sorrow. She knew the wonder, the tremendous #joy of bringing the Messiah into the world, but she also knew the #heartbreak as she stood before the #cross #Golgotha. At the beginning and at the end of Jesus #life, we find that the light shone brightly upon Mary, and we see her at her greatest moments. We see that, truly, she was blessed among women. We should all aspire to be like #Mary, who answered God with humility and resigned herself joyfully to His will no matter the cost. As you consider impossible obstacles in your life, FOLLOW MARYS EXAMPLE, trusting your life to God and submitting your will to His. -Dr. D. James Kennedy Next to her Son, Mary is the most touching figure in the narrative. #WillDurant
