Mary was flabbergasted. The angel Gabriel, God’s special heavenly messenger, had just informed her that almighty God planned to have her miraculously give birth to the Son of God. It was incredible! It was humanly impossible.
In response, Mary asked a question, not out of unbelief, but out of wonder. “How?” She knew she stood at the threshold of an incredible journey with God. Ultimately the salvation of all humanity throughout all of time would rest on what God did through her ordinary life. It was breathtaking to consider.
Throughout our lives we will immerse ourselves in numerous mundane tasks. We’ll wash dishes, drive to work, do laundry, mow the lawn. We’ll put in years at work or spend countless hours raising our children and shuttling them to appointments. But in the course of the mountains of ordinary tasks we will invest our one, precious life in, is there something you can point to that is clearly a work of God? Can you identify one aspect of your life that cannot be merely explained by your own effort and expertise? Is there even one thing you stand in awe of, that almighty God would choose to accomplish through your life? Is your life touching eternity in any way?
It will be those heavenly, divine moments that will be the highlights of your life. Live a life that pleases God and then embrace His will for your life. You may be amazed at what God does.
