Mary Revelation.

And Mary said,

Yes, I see it all now:
I'm the Lord's maid, ready to serve.
Let it be with me
just as you say.

Then the angel left her.

Blessed Among Women

^39-45Mary didn't waste a minute. She got up and traveled to a town in Judah in the hill country, straight to Zachariah's house, and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb leaped. Luke 1:

I was reading this scripture this morning, armed with my cuppa tea, Milly my dog and my mum cleaning around me (am reading this along with the 24-7 Advent videos). When Mary has a visit from an Angel and he tells her about the pregnancy she is about to have.

Now what got my head wrecked this morning, is not that she has just been given some pretty big news that is gonna change her life and everyone else on the planet for ever and she needs to start thinking about how to tell her husband to be. Or the fact that she could be put to death because of the issue of her now with child, or the fact that Gabriel Angel extraordinaire, who I bet looks pretty smart in real life, wings and all, has stopped for a quick natter. Now this would all be a mind wreck, but no what got me, is verse 29: Mary didn't waste a minute.....WHAT!

She just gets right on and starts to plan for Gods work to be born. Pure faith. Now if it were me, I would be having a few days ranting at God, then a few days crying, maybe a few more praying, have a few prayer meetings and then my rock up to my church and ask them what they think of this crazy situation. Before starting to get my head around it, But Mary just gets on with it.. How mad is that? Isn't it mad that God knew this young Girl. would just deal with it and have so much faith to just get on with Gods work, where as me, I'd would spend a few weeks in disbelief mode.

Blew my mind this morning. God totally knows what he is doing!

This is alot more poignant this morning, as I had a bit of a moan yesterday at God about the man who went into a shopping market in Belgium and shot loads of people. Asking him, Why did he let it happen, and generally being moody.

How good and wise is our God? He knew Mary could handle it. and he knows I am a moaner, sometimes my heart hurts and I get disheartened.

But he has got it all under control.

Love it. X
