“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” (Luke 1:28).
Today’s verse was not written so we would build a statue to honor or pray to Mary. She was a young maiden God chose to carry out His plan. Think back to your adolescent days. Would you have been prepared for the message of an angel? Obviously God felt with her upbringing, faith, and humility, she was ready. She was just an ordinary teen, but she was going to experience something extraordinary. Her life is about to be changed because she is going to be “touched by an angel” with a message that will turn her world, and ultimately ours, upside down. Tomorrow we will learn what the angel had to say that would impact Mary’s life forever.
