Mary.
And I cannot imagine what she must have been thinking.
The angel had just spoken the words to her, “You will conceive and give birth to a Son and you will name Him Jesus....The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.” (verses 31,35)
And yet her response to something she didn’t understand, something that she couldn’t rationalize, something that made absolutely no sense, was, “Be it unto me according to Your Word.”
Oh Mary. How I admire you so!
Her simple response spoken out of obedience was her ‘amen’ to what He was doing.
“Be it unto me according to Your Word.”
Jesus... I surrender and I invite You in to do the work that only You can do.
I may not understand it... I may not like the feel of it... I may not yet appreciate it... but I can live surrendered to it.
Jesus came so that His life would reveal the Father. My life, then, should reveal the Savior.
I’d write it in my prayer journal. A cry of this weary heart: Whatever You have for me, would You make it to happen - all according to Your design! I surrender to Your plan. My life is for Your purposes. Fulfill in my life Your ultimate will!
Be it unto me according to Your Word!
