Victory Declared; a Promise Whispered

This verse is our battle cry when facing challenging circumstances but is often taken out of context. These words are often shouted at the enemy to claim a victory, a declaration that, with God, there is nothing we cannot overcome! But they were spoken by the angel Gabriel to Mary, gently, in the quiet of the evening, answering the question of how she, a virgin, will give birth to the Son of God. Her response in the next verse has always stirred my heart: “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Mary surrendered. God can do amazing things through each and every one of us, and in whatever situation we are facing…when we seek Him, when we trust Him, and when we surrender to Him. Nothing is impossible WITH God!
