Mary: A Trusting Woman

10/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Anyone here struggle with control? I know I do! Another amazing thing about Mary is that she was a trusting woman. She trusted God not only to work in her own life, but also in the lives of those around her. Even after Joseph decided to divorce her, Mary trusted God and waited for Him to intervene rather than taking matters into her own hands, becoming manipulative, obsessive, or controlling. Rather than trying to force those around us to believe God, we must each surrender and trust God to work. If God said it, He will do it! His way, in His timing. Let's have the faith to wait. 
Application Questions:
  • Do I trust God to fulfill His purpose in my life and in the lives of those I love?
  • Is there any are of my life where I am trying to work things out on my own, rather than trusting God to do what needs to be done?
