Today's Scripture
Luke 1:37–38, NIV
"For no word from God will ever fail. I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled."
Today's Word
Words are powerful. A teenage girl named Mary became pregnant, not by a man, but by a word from God. The angel Gabriel appeared to her and said, "Mary, you are highly favored! You will conceive and have a baby without knowing a man. He will be the Messiah, the Son of God." When God wants to create, He doesn't use material things; He uses words. Mary could have said to the angel, "That's impossible. It's never happened before." Instead she said, "Be it unto me even as you have said." She got in agreement with God. She used her words to confirm what she heard, not to debate what she heard.
When God puts a promise in your heart, just agree with Him. The Scripture says, "By His stripes you are healed." Don't debate it. "I don't feel healed. My back is still sore." Get in a habit of speaking faith-filled words. "Lord, thank You that I am healed. Be it unto me even as You have said."
