Mary's God Moment

(Hebrews 12:1) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

For when God asks you to do something outside your comfort zone...

“Don’t miss your moment with God."

God Moments

God moments often seem impossible.  

(Luke 1:31-34) You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” 

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

Don't stiff arm God. 

(Mark 10:27) Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

Depend more on your faith than the facts. 

When God moments come, just say yes.

(Luke 1:38) “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

(Mark 5:36) Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

Our hope must weigh more than our questions.

Your God moment will open the door for God's best in your life.

(Luke 1:42-45) In a loud voice she (Elizabeth) exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! ...Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

God has blessings waiting for us on the other side of obedience.  

(John 2:5 NKJV) His (Mary) mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

Miracles happen when our willingness to trust God intersects with the will of God.
