- Scripture:
Who’s Your Source?
Mary said to the angel, “But how? I’ve never slept with a man.”
Luke 1:34 MSG
- Reflection:
In Church on Sunday, our Pastor was talking about Mary Jesus’ mother giving birth to him and imagining the shame that she probably would have gone through had Joseph not been told by the Angel to stay with her. She was going to be left by herself until GOD sent an Angel to let Joseph know that no man had physically touched her. She is still pregnant, and this is going to be a child you will raise, but at a point, I will take over. God is bigger than anything we can imagine and everywhere all at once, too. Having a father like this means you are protected from whatever the world can throw at you.
Where do we go from here?
What you’re believing for can happen without getting your manager or boss at work to like you or talking your friend into giving you a good break. You don’t need who you think you need. People are not your source; God is your source. When it’s your time, when God shows up in His power, nothing can stand in His way. Chains will break, doors will open, and opportunity will come. It can happen without a bank, without treatment, without experience, without resources, without connections. God is about to surprise you. Just as he did with Mary, it’s going to be something you’ve never seen. Something that’s never happened in your family. Something that defies the odds that catapults you into your destiny. Just stay focused on your true source.
Our Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for being our provider, the source of everything good in our lives. Thank You that we are not dependent upon other people, but it is Your favor that brings us the right people and the right connections. We will stay focused on You, knowing You make happen what no person can make happen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
