Names

Angels.  Have you ever spent some time thinking about the role of the angels as found in the Biblical stories?  Have you personally had an experience in which you felt confident the Lord’s angel was involved?  The name JESUS which means SAVIOR.  For the most part, many of us give a name to our children “because we like the name, or, because of a friend or relative who has that name.  But in Biblical times, names were given which has special meaning.  Mary, the mother of Jesus.  What a fine young woman she must have been to have been selected by God for this wonderful privilege…becoming the mother of our Lord Jesus.  I’m looking forward to meeting her some day!  Verse 37  Nothing is impossible with God!  If that be so, then surely whatever we are facing this very day (no matter if it be difficult decisions, death, sadness, or any other thing), we can be confident if we but put that situation into His loving hands, can’t we?  Read verse 49 again.  Name some great and good things God has done in your life.
