Journey Day 276

A common theme throughout my journey has been learning to trust and have faith in God. He continues to teach it to me each and every day. Last Thursday we learned about Mary, the mother of Jesus, at bible study. One thing that really stuck out to me about her was her incredible faith and trust in the Lord. She was just so very willing to do God's will! Here's a 13 year old who has just been told that God was going to impregnate her even though she was unmarried and a virgin and what's her response? "Uhhhh no thanks God... I think I'll take a pass on immaculate conception." Absolutely not! The bible tells us she said, "I am the Lord's servant, may it be as you have said." She didn't ask God for the details so she could weigh the pros and cons... she just said, "may it be as you have said." Being so young, and unmarried Mary risked life and limb to bring our Savior into the world, and we must be grateful for her faith and willingness. I can't help but think, "I want that." I want that faith and I desire to trust God to that extent, so that no matter what he asks me to do I can say, "I am the Lord's servant, may it be as you have said."
