Luke 1:30-31 “And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in they womb, and bring for a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.”

Has God ever interrupted your plans?

Mary was doing what she was expected to do - what was right for her to do - what she, Joseph, and not doubt their family, had planned to do.

Then God interrupted her life with a new plan.

Has God interrupted your plans?

Sometimes it can be exciting. Sometimes it can be scary. Other times it can be very confusing.

Yet our response needs to be like Mary's  - adjust our plans to God’s will!

This Christmas week let us examine our own response to the changes God has or is brining into our lives.

May the God who never changes help us to deal with life that is always changing!

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God…”

The source and purpose of the rest of the Bible rests upon this one phrase.

The source and purpose of our daily lives does the same.

Today let us live with the driving consciousness that everything begins with God.

He is the one who meets our needs, sustains our hearts and gives purpose to everything we do.

Let us begin each day, each conversation and each choice with God.
