A Blessed Mother

Long ago when Mary was pregnant with Jesus, she visited her cousin. Elizabeth, Mary’s cousin, was telling Mary she was blessed of God because of her belief that God would fulfill His promises to her. The blessing is in the “Believing God”. God wants to see our faith, especially when the answer takes a long time in coming. The promise was a child, a child not like any other. Mary said yes to the angel delivering the message from God. The Holy Spirit overshadows her to become pregnant with the sinless seed, Jesus. The blessing will always be our believing God, trusting God, and counting on God. Once we can genuinely rely on God like it’s second nature, then we will be able to understand the blessing is in the believing God. To be faith trained is to have every blessing bestowed upon you. God is always seeking to teach us the way of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). Mary had faith to believe, and trust the Lord. Training for a life of faith requires many areas of learning. So don’t get discouraged during the process along the way. Although Mary was the Mother of Jesus it was never intended for people to pray to her for anything. She carried the blessing, she was not the blessing for the world, Jesus is. Once you can truly believe that the Lord will fulfill His promises to you, it’s a wrap, and NEVER let that go you.
