Scripture:
Luke 1
Synopsis:
In this passage we read about three people who are in different stages (and different ages!) of life. Each of them (Zechariah, Elizabeth, and Mary) were used by God in a way that was completely surprising and unexpected. Zechariah was performing a task in the process of worship that had been performed by Levites thousands of times. He certainly wasn’t expecting to encounter an angel! Elizabeth, advanced in age, was NOT expecting to become pregnant. And Mary, a seemingly insignificant young girl, BOTH encountered and angel AND became pregnant - even though she was still a virgin!
Spark:
When God shows up unexpectedly, are you ready to be used? Will you, like Mary, say “Behold, I am a servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” or will you be like Moses and repeatedly tell God no?
Challenge for today: be ready to let God use you!
1) Believe He has the power to do anything - nothing is impossible with God! (v. 37)
2) Commit yourself to His way - no matter what happens! (vv. 6, 38)
3) Depend on Him - His mercy is great for those who fear Him! (v. 50)
