God sent the angel Gabriel to
Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named
Joseph, a descendant of David. The
virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you
who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
--Luke 1:26-28
New International Version
THOUGHTS
ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE
Wow!
Such a familiar sentence packed with emotion. An angel comes to Nazareth to visit and
speak with a young woman engaged to be married. Before the history-shattering
news is announced, she is given one key reminder that will be truer than she
could imagine, "The Lord is with you."
MY
PRAYER
My request, O God, I've sung many times: "Be with me Lord, I cannot live without
Thee. I cannot bear to take one step
alone." Father, I need your abiding
presence to face the challenges of life.
As you have upheld your children through the ages, I am thankful to
greet each day knowing that I will not face it alone. In Jesus' name. Amen.
His
Grace Never Ceases
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His
mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness…
Lamentations 3:22–23, NLT
Placing a handful of tokens onto the arcade
game machine that my little Jessica was completely engrossed in, I said to her,
“Jessica, once the game is ending, just put in another token, alright?” She was
only three years old then, but certainly understood well enough how to keep on
inserting new tokens to keep the game going.
It was fun watching her enjoy the game. Her
eyes would light up and her dimples would show, especially when she was
winning. As her father, seeing her happy made me happy, so I kept watch to
ensure that she had sufficient tokens to keep the game going. Once they ran
low, I would rush to the counter to get a new stack of tokens. So Jessica’s
daddy kept supplying more tokens while she simply kept enjoying the game.
Beloved, if an earthly father can do this for
his daughter for a simple arcade game, how much more will our heavenly Father,
who loves us and delights in seeing us blessed, do to provide for us!
