WHAT WAS MARY THINKING?

This picture was not on her mind.  She had no idea he would reach out to us all to save our lives.  Or if she did know, she didn't say.  Sitting there that Christmas night looking at her newborn son must have been not only a normal moment, but an overwhelming moment.  Naturally she would wonder how she was going to be as a mother to this young man names Jesus.  She would also wonder how she would do as a mother to the son of God.  Whoa! 

Was she thinking about God's Word that night?  Probably not, but here is a scripture that envelops the entire night for her.

Proverbs 16: 3

Roll your works upon the Lord (commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will and) so shall your plans be established and succeed.


So it goes for us today as well.  What do you do with this Son of God?  You just put it all in His hands, our Savior's hand and know He will do the rest. 

Merry Christmas everyone!  Remember why we celebrate this wonderful season.  God loved us so much He knew we needed a gracious Savior to come into our lives.  We needed forgiven and restored, redeemed and loved unconditionally.  Let's celebrate that through our love and get togethers this season.  We need to bring glory to God in all we do and say.
