Reading – Luke 1:26-38

Highlight Verse:

“Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The morning of December 7th, 1941 was a very confusing time for Americans, especially those on the island of Oahu.

When the forces of Japan attacked, they must have felt desperate and alone.

But they answered the call with many more of the Allies to fight and to support the fight for freedom.

They rallied and over the course of the next four years accomplished the victory that was so desperately needed.

The day that Gabriel appeared to Mary, she must have felt confused and alone.

Her world was crashing around her at the news that she would bear a child that didn’t belong to her fiancé.

But she humbly submitted to God’s challenge for her.

She and Joseph rallied and accomplished the task of parenting the most important child of all time.

We would be wise to bravely face the challenges God has set before us and rally for the heavenly victory He has promised.

With what has God challenged you?
What is your response to that challenge?
