Our text for this message is one in which we learn a great deal about Mary. She leaves us an incredible example to follow in her courage, faith, faithfulness, willingness, servant heart, obedience, and joyfulness. She was willing to obey the Lord and do what He asked of her even though she didn’t quite understand all it would mean. She was willing to be obedient even though she knew what was asked of her would be difficult. She is an example to follow. Are we willing to step out with the same kind of faith? Are we willing to obey, even though it may mean trials and hardships? Are we willing to be used by the Lord and express a worshipful spirit? We need to emulate the life of Mary in our service to the Lord, because it is the Lord who asks us to do it. Because we know that the strength we lack will be given to us by the Lord, whose grace is sufficient to endure whatever we may be asked by the Lord knowing that He who asked us is with us. May we respond as Mary – “I am the Lord servant.”
