"With God nothing will be impossible," Luke 1:37.
This, the message young Mary received at the incredible announcement she would bear a son without a man. Yet, no fatherless child, Mary's son: conceived by the power of the Most High, raised by Joseph. But in the moment, where was Mary's proof of God at work? Here: her elderly cousin Elizabeth recently conceiving her only child, by an elderly man. The proof-child born of their age would ready people's hearts for God's new age, a kingdom without end. And what of Mary's child? Eternal king of that eternal kingdom. (Unbelievable -- you have got to be kidding!) And here we are two thousand years later. Millions, countless from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, claim that son of the Most High as King of kings and Lord of lords! What God has wrought.
We marvel, amazed, at God's quiet, and sometimes not-so-quiet, movement of history toward his purposes and goals. Give thanks in fellowship with a brother or sister today that all things are possible with God.
