"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaiden of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her" (Luke 1:31-38).
When God decided to enter the world in the flesh, He chose a lowly peasant girl to be the vehicle by which he made His entrance. Mary herself said, "For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden." God still delights to do extraordinary things through ordinary people. He can do the impossible by His Spirit through anyone who would pray like Mary, "Behold the handmaid (servant) of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word."
Do you sense God calling you to do a work for him that appears to the human eye like it can't be done? Recall to your mind the great things God has already done in your life and in the lives of others. And remember the words of the Angel to Mary, "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Be willing to be used of God wherever he leads you and trust his Spirit to do in you and through you what you can't.
