A Story of Life
I at times feel sorry for Mary. To some she has almost become like a God and
to others she is not understood or appreciated.
Can you think of a higher honor that being named to be the human Mother
and Father of Jesus? It does seem the
Father would pick amazing people to have the honor of “raising” His Son. I remember watching a movie about the birth
of Jesus and Joseph tells Mary his fear that he will have nothing to teach his
Son. At the time he is washing Mary’s
travel worn feet.
Read
Luke 1:39-45
Have
you heard this story before? What has it
meant to you?
Who
is Elizabeth?
Who
is the baby Elizabeth is carrying?
Why
did the baby jump?
Do
you believe that Mary is blessed because she believed and trusted God? Are you blessed if you believe and trust in
God?
Though
not part of the reading I hope you will read Mary’s response or what at times
is called The song of Mary. Discover the
heart of this simple “Handmaiden of God.”
As you complete this study take time to
write your understanding of what life is and what part God should play in your
life. If you want to get really deep
write down what part you play in God’s life.
Over the years I have come to realize that with all the suffering God
faces I want my life to be a reason God can smile!!!
May the Lord bless you and may you be a blessing to
God!
