“For nothing will be impossible with God. And Mary said, ‘Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word” (1:37-38). Imagine how Mary might have felt and processed the promise that was given to her. The promise that she, of all the women, would be the mother of the Savior of the world and the baby that was surely coming. There was so much doubt she could have embraced. She was a young, unmarried virgin in a culture that would have shamed her for an unwed pregnancy. This act of God would have to be divine and supernatural. God would have to make the impossible possible. Yet, she believed the Savior was coming, and she would be His mother. Jesus is coming! Mary believed it and in obedience went to Elizabeth. Jesus is coming! Elizabeth believed it and blessed Mary that the fulfillment would surely happen. Jesus is coming! Elizabeth’s baby believed it and leaped for joy. Blessed are they who posture their heart, in faith, believing and waiting for God to fulfill what He has promised. The Father was bringing His Son to the world in His saving grace. The fullness of time had come. Hundreds of years had passed by waiting for this moment. God’s appointed timing was finally here. Mary 82
