The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, because God is pleased with you.”
Luke 1:30
Each day during Advent, my children are chomping at the bit to open the newest box on the advent calendar. Each box holds two pieces of candy and a Bible verse for us to study together. They are very young so I know in my heart they are just excited to get that candy in their little mouths but it won’t be long until they find out how much sweeter it is to fill their mouths with the word of the Lord.
Early this week, we read about Mary and one little word seems to continue floating in my mind.
Pleased.
The Lord was ‘pleased’ with Mary.
Is he pleased with my actions, my thoughts and my words today?
Maybe? Maybe not?
Think about it today. Lets be more intentional about making our every action, though and spoken word pleasing to our Lord as we celebrate his Birthday this season.
Peace to each of you until we meet again!
