God has His plans
And hand-picks people to carry them out.
People like Mary…….
God wouldn’t entrust His beloved Son
to just anyone.
She must be loving and humble
But most of all she must be willing.
…..and she was………….
She gave up her own rights and plans for His
when she said, “Be it unto me according to Thy Word.”
Or like Joseph…………….
God wouldn’t choose just any man.
He didn’t need a leader.
To carry out His plans He needed someone
sensitive to His leading
and quick to obey.
One who would stand in the background
and be a support and provider.
……….and Joseph was………….
He gave up his own ambitions
and even left His own country
To carry out God’s plans
because in his heart he had said,
“Thy will be done.”
TODAY God has His plans
and hand-picks people to carry them out.
He still looks for the humble and the willing,
and those sensitive to His leading.
When He taps you on the shoulder
………or me
and then bends down His ear for our response,
If it’s the same as Joseph or Mary’s……….
then He can use us too!.
