How traumatic it must have been for a teenager encountering God with a message she would "carry within her womb God in flesh." Even more profound is the way she accepted without hesitation. I would need to crunch the figures, determine the outcome for the family, list the pros and cons and after all of this probably not move forward.
How difficult for us to simply say enough is enough, "I will follow you Lord, Here am I!" This truly is the season where we are reminded we must die to self, in order to be raised up anew in Him.
What does that mean for your life? What small step might you take in order for you to give up all that you are and take that leap into a divine purpose?
Here am I, the servant of the Lord : let it be to me according to your will.
Honored to be in this together,
Jeremy
Welcome to the conversation! For as long as our own discipline will allow, I hope to use this resource as a forum for prayer and reflection for the community of Perdido Bay United Methodist Church. We'll be working through Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals as our daily devotional guide. Since we're beginning the journey on Ash Wednesday, the hope is that this will be an additional venue for us to pray together throughout this holy season.
