Luke 1:34 (NIV) “How will this be?” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
Mary asked a reasonable question, and the angel answered her question without rebuke. God does not mind our questions; we have a reasonable faith. The angel not only answered Mary’s question but also gave her exciting news about another miracle baby to be born into the family (vs. 36). Elizabeth was six months into her pregnancy; and this information provided Mary with a touchstone to link this supernatural experience to the reality of her own world. The text ends with a profound, timeless truth: Nothing is impossible with God (vs. 37). Do you have questions about circumstances in your life? Don’t be afraid to take your questions to God. He provides answers as we are willing to watch, wait, and listen.
