Do You Get It?

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Luke 1:37

Reading:

Luke 1:30-38

This passage comprises the second half of the International Bible Study for this coming Sunday.

I found two “gems” for me that certainly speak to the inner turmoil with which I awoke:

“With God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37) — Have I sufficient faith to rest in that and to live by that?

“Be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38) — Do I trust God enough to yield to His unexpected ways and plans?

So often, I do not understand (nor enjoy) God’s ways, but I yield to them. (There’s a lot behind that, but I’m not going to get that personal on the Internet!)

The Scriptures say in Luke 1:37 -- With God nothing shall be impossible
from Luke 1:37

Reading:
Luke 2:8-20

“And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night” (8).

Those shepherds had a place to be and a job to do. So they were away from town. And they were up at night.

But God could find them when they needed to hear something from Him.

And God could find them when He had something different for them to do, even a temporary assignment.

God can find me, too.

So let me do the job I have now.

Maybe He has something different for me to do. Later.

Meanwhile, I need faithfulness and cheerfulness and vision and purpose for the job I have now.

Oh, and peace and goodwill as well.
