Significant Surrender December 20, 2010 Our Daily Bread is hosted by Les Lamborn READ: Luke 1:26-38 Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. —1 Peter 5:6 Throughout history, Mary the mother of Jesus has been held in high esteem. And rightly so! She was singled out by God to deliver the long-awaited Messiah. But before we get lost in the significance of her life, let's take a look at what it meant for her to surrender to the assignment. Living in a small backwater Galilean village where everyone knew everyone else's business, she would have to live with the perceived shame of her premarital pregnancy. Explaining to her mother the visits of the angel and the Holy Spirit probably didn't calm things down. To say nothing of the devastating interruption that her pregnancy would bring to her plans to marry Joseph. And while we are thinking about Joseph, what would she tell him? Would he believe her? In light of these personal ramifications, her response to the angel who told her the news about her role as Jesus' mother is amazing: "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38 ESV). Her words remind us that a life of significance is most often preceded by a heart eager to surrender to God's will regardless of the cost. What significant experience does God have in store for you? It starts with surrender to Him. —Joe Stowell What shall I give You, Master? You have redeemed my soul; My gift is small but it is my all— Surrendered to Your control. —Grimes Surrender to God precedes His significant work in your life.
