Favor with God

The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God." (Luke 1:30)

Have you found favor with God like Mary did?

Mary responded in 3 ways to the angel:

1. Mary WONDERED at God's Wisdom
   
2. Mary was PERPLEXED by God's Plan
   
3. Mary SUBMITTED to God's Sovereignty
   

Her 3rd response is what we should all do. No matter what we think of God's Plan for our  lives, we should submit to God's leading. He will never lead you astray. Trust in Him and in His will. He will take care of you.  So, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
