01.04.03. FOURTH TUESDAY OF ADVENT

FOURTH TUESDAY OF ADVENT Read Luke 1:26-30 Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.

If God broke into human history once again as He did at the birth of Jesus, would He find us "favorable?" Mary’s testimony, recorded for the world to see, is phenomenal. What made her favorable to God?

We might imagine several character traits such as devotion, purity or dependability Maybe God found Mary’s prayer life to be favorable. We really don’t know. A better question might be "Does God find favor with me?’

You have been chosen to accomplish something significant in the Kingdom. Live your life in such a way that when God gets ready to do a special work in and through you, you will not have to make emergency preparations, forsake sin, mend your ways, nor rebuild your reputation in order to be used.

Pray about the unfavorable characteristics in your heart today.
