Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-21

Luke 1:34 (NKJV) 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

In verse 31 of this chapter, an angel came to Mary and told her that she would conceive in her womb and bring forth a Son, and His name would be Jesus.

How can this be?

Notice that Mary did not ask if this could be. She wanted to know how, expressing her concerns based on her current situation. How can this be, seeing that I have not been with a man?

Her intellect was trying to understand all of this. She believed God could do it. She was just curious as to how.

Luke 1:38 (NKJV) 38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

There will be things in life that we will not necessarily understand how they can happen if we look at them based on our own understanding.

But God is able to do above and beyond all that we know!

Maybe we are in a certain season right now, and we feel completely lost and don’t know how things are going to turn around.

Remember this one verse; “Let it be according to your word”!

God knows how and when to carry out His plans in our lives. We just have to make sure we don’t get stuck in the uncertainties.

If we can learn to do this, we will watch it be birthed. A miracle is easy for Him!

Make sure that we don’t get stuck in the “how can it be?”.

It’s OK to ask. But be sure to trust God to do whatever it is He is showing us. Then we need to continue to take the necessary steps to get there, or keep on believing Him even if we don’t see any steps in front of us to take.

Have faith. If Mary did not believe in what the angel spoke to her on that day, she would not have been the one to give birth to our savior.

If God is saying something to us, and we don’t quite understand how it can be, don’t doubt Him. Ask Him to give you the understanding, and let Him do it His way and in His timing. Amen
