Thinking Thursday

[Luk 1:26-33 KJV] 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 

Gabriel, an angel messenger, sent by God is about to deliver a message to a special young lady.

27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary. 

Joseph was of the legal lineage of David and Mary was of the blood lineage of David.

28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.

You can be quietly living a life of faith and called to do great things for God's kingdom and if called, it is a blessing. 

29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

Totally understandable...this is not an everyday occurrence. 

30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 

Gabriel is trying to reassure her that he is delivering good news.

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 

That is huge news!

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 

Her Son will change the world...that's a lot of pressure for a young mother.

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Prophecies she's heard her entire life and her child will fulfill them.
