Scripture: Matthew 1:38
Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
Thought for the Day: Of all the words spoken in scripture, these might be the most pleasing to God. It is all about Mary’s placement, posture and purpose. She is where God needs her to be, not with arrogance, but in true humility. She also has aligned herself with God’s vision. Each of these is important, but any two without the third will not produce the outcome God is seeking. Jesus would embody all three of them perfectly, but his mother had already provided a living example. It makes you wonder where Jesus would learn it.
Prayer: May I be where you need me to be; with a servant-like attitude; with a clear sense of what you need me to do. Holy God, I turn to Mary as an inspiring model for how I will live this day. Amen.
