27 He had a message for a young woman promised in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was a descendant of King David. Her name was Mary. 28 The angel came to her and said, “Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and has greatly blessed you!”--- Luke 1:27-28 GNTMary was young, poor, female---all characteristics that, to the people of her day, would make her seem unusable by God for any major task. But God chose Mary for one of the most important acts of obedience he has ever demanded of anyone. You may feel that your ability, experience, or education makes you an unlikely candidate for God’s service. Don’t limit God’s choices. He can use you if you trust him.--- Life Application Study Bible notesPRAYERDear Heavenly Father, Thank you for choosing us as Your children.Thank you that for every born-again child of Yours, by Your grace, You are with us by the indwelling Holy Spirit every moment of the day.Thank You that we also are highly favored.As You used Mary as a vessel for Your devine plan, use us as a vessel to Your glory.I commit all my works and plans to You.Please guide me.I want to go where Your grace leads.In Jesus’ nameAmen
