Promises

Imagine what it would have been like to have a front row seat to experience the coming of the King! I don’t think Mary had any idea when she told the angel, “let it be to me as you have said,” what was about to happen.  Her life and her willingness to serve were about to change eternity. 

Luke 2 says that Mary “kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself.” Sometimes on our journey we hold our memories close to our hearts and marvel quietly about what God has done.

Luke 2 also says the sheepherders returned to their sheep, and as they left they boldly praised God, thanking Him for what they had seen and heard.  Likewise on our journey, there are times we shout God’s praises so everyone will hear the good news.

Both were in awe that the angels promises came to pass, just as it had been foretold!

God's promises are true

Your journey of promise.
