Good Friday Morning!
So long ago Mary received an angelic message from God: “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call him Jesus.” (Luke 1: 30-31) The name “Jesus” would have special meaning for Mary and the Israelites. It comes from a Hebrew word that means “savior” and signifies the promises of One who would save God’s people. The angel Gabriel told Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, therefore, the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God.”(Luke 1:35) Her response: “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Mary said “yes” to God’s plans for her. How do we respond when God calls us to serve Him in a special way?
??Lord, please speak to our hearts and direct us where You desire us to serve. Open our eyes to Your plan. Our faith is in Your plan even when we don’t fully understand. We seek to serve You. Amen.
