The Hope of Mary
God's purpose for us is often different from our plans, and what we might call a confusing or disturbing interruption could be God's divine invitation! Thankfully, we don't have to understand God's plan to trust that he has a purpose. Obedience is our responsibility--the outcome is God's.
Scripture References: Isaiah 41:10, Luke 1:26-29, Luke 1:30-31, Luke 1:38, Daniel 10:19
From Series: "Fear Not"
Fear is an unpleasant (and often strong) emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. For some, fear is defined by darkness, heights, roll coasters or spiders. For others, fear impacts on a deeper level. Fear of unfulfilled hopes and dreams. Fear of disappoint, shame, and judgment. Fear of the unexpected, of being inadequate or unworthy, unloved or forgotten. Fear attacks us where faith begins and prevents us from experiencing the fullness of life found in faith. "Fear Not" will help us overcome our fears and compel us to choose faith and obedience. From God’s messages to the prophets to the angels' visits to Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds - we will be assured God is still with us!
