What Mary Knew!

"This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the Holy Spirit." Matthew 18:1

Something came to me the other day, Mary was the one person in this world that knew Jesus was a miracle and was the Savior of the world without a doubt in her mind. She had no way of being pregnant but the Holy Spirit made her pregnant. She was the one person in the world that was more shocked than even us. One of my favorite Christmas songs is 'Mary Did You Know?' If you think of the lyrics where it says, "Did you know that your baby boy Has walked where angels trod? When you kiss your little baby you kiss the face of God" it's something so deep to think about. Imagine trying to comprehend that you not only had an unexpected child and a complete miracle but that you carried for nine months and hold each day is God in the flesh. Mary is the one person who had more faith than anyone. Mary's joy over Jesus wasn't only because He was her son but also because it was God in the flesh. She knew who He was from the time He was formed in her womb when the angel told her. She knew that He was the Savior and something special to more than she could imagine. Today have the joy that Mary had knowing Jesus did not only come just to save her from her sins, but to save each and every one of us. What Mary knew and each of us should remember is that Jesus was a complete miracle and if He had done that miracle and many more while He was on this earth then He can do the impossible in our lives every day. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Mary gave birth to Jesus, who is called the Messiah.” Matthew‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭ “He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.” Luke‬ ‭2:5‬ ‭ “And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born.” Luke‬ ‭2:6‬ ‭ “She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.” Luke‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
