Be It Unto Me According To Thy Word

By Rusty Wilson

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

- Luke 1:38

As we read and focus on the birth of Jesus, we also see the faithful obedience of Mary, His mother. As she received and accomplished one of the greatest assignments someone could receive, being a young virgin (never have been with a man) conceived and gave birth to our Lord and Savior, Jesus.

She didn’t have a full understanding of what she was called to do, but as the angel Gabriel explained to her by saying, …The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

We know that this word from Gabriel the angel could been and probably was extremely mind blowing by trying to get a complete understanding of what he was telling her as she could have been trying to understand it by her natural mind and as he continued in verse 37 he said, …For with God nothing shall be impossible.

But as she trusted God, she received the Word from the Lord through the angel Gabriel by saying, …Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.

There are times that we receive a Word from the Lord and we may not have a complete understanding or don’t understand it at all, but as we choose to receive the calling, the assignment by saying, …be it unto me according to thy Word… we will be given wisdom, knowledge and understanding from the Holy Spirit: our teacher. He will minister to us what we need to know and what we need to do and to remember this is for the glory of God and as we are obedient to do what God says to do, we know we will be BLESSED.
