Luke 1:49 KJV
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
I wonder if Mary had to bring herself to the place where she could say "he that is mighty hath done to me great things"? I wonder if she struggled with that some.
It jeopardized her relationship with Joseph
It created a cause of gossip about her all the rest of her life
It necessitated her leaving to visit Elizabeth for a three month period of time and, once the baby was born
It required they flee to Egypt
But in fact God had done to her a great thing.
God's will for our lives is so contrary to the natural flesh that it is often difficult for us to see His will for us as "great." We have to wrestle with and overcome our sinful flesh to finally see that God's plan for our lives is so much greater than any plan we might make for our own life.
I want to practice saying daily, "He that is mighty hath done to me great things!"
