Thought For Today

The angel (Gabriel) as he approached her (Mary), said, “Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you.”  But she was troubled at his message and reflected what sort of greeting this might be.  The angel said to her, “Have no fear, Mary for you have found favor with God.  Luke 1:28 -30

Thank You for stopping us to listen to Your still small voice.  At this busy time of the year it is so easy for us to miss what You are trying to say to us and teach us.  As I was reading these verse Lord I wanted to stop here and reflect on what was going on.  You are calling Mary.  You sent an angel.  She was afraid, and Lord we all would be afraid wondering what is this..….why would he say such a thing.  Thank You for helping Mary NOT be afraid.  Thank You for calming her thoughts and fear.  This was Your presence helping her believe.  Lord, so often, it is You that helps us believe.  It is You that gives us more faith and joy.  It is You that give us peace in the midst of uncertain happenings.  We thank You Lord for ALWAYS being with us to bring comfort, peace and joy.

Thank You Lord.

Amen
