HOW SHALL THIS BE?

 

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
                                          LUKE 1:34 ESV

In the dictionary of God, impossibility with man equals possibility with God.  God never slacks with his promises and in his unchangeable nature, he changes and breaks protocols.  Are you at a stage where all you seem to ruminate over is ‘how shall this be’? Mary had the same thought when she was told about conceiving the king of Kings.  Unlike men, Mary understood that the question wasn't that of a man to answer but of the Lord. Luke 1:38a KJV;
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. Mary asked a question but never questioned the possibility of God.

In certain areas of life, we are often thrown this exact question just at the phase of a shift.    Mary had that moment too but never doubted the word of God. Doubting is of the flesh; it is often construed in sight.  Mary walked in faith understanding that what God cannot do does not exist. To man it's impossible but to God impossibility is where his glory is being shown forth.

2020 probably draws many of us back to this same question where it seems we are on the same  spot and doesn't seem we are moving at the moment but recently I thought of this. Probably God isn't trying to get you to move but rather build the right posture.  Mary had the right posture as she received the word full of humility.
