26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee, 27 to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David. 28 Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you! Luke 1:26-28
Good morning! Many of you woke up this morning with the same routine. Alarm clock went off, you got the coffee/breakfast started, you got dressed for work, and you know how the rest goes. You'll put in your time, brave the drive home, grab a bite to eat, relax, and at some point go to sleep. For some, church maybe injected there but for the most part it's a mundane existence. This continues on through the week, and weekend and this is YOUR LIFE. No matter where you live.....St. Charles, O'Fallon, Jennings, Bellefountaine, St. Louis, Bourbun, Cuba, where ever it is....is there REALLY ANYTHING REMARKABLE or EXTRAORDINARY about where you live or what you do from day to day? Probably not......we like playing it safe, and routines are ok with us. Mary lived in Nazareth, remember the place that it was said later, " Can anything good come from Nazareth" (John 1:46) and the scripture informs us that she was engaged and her life, her plan....was interrupted.
Now angels don't appear or make themselves known to us, nor do they deliver you a message like the one given to Mary, but I submit to you this: EVERY SUNDAY A MESSAGE IS DELIEVERED to you and my question is have you put into practice ANY OF IT, ( you know the sermon)?
GOD has awaken (everyone reading this) us to an opportunity TODAY to actually apply HIS WORD, to our LIVES where if, and when we do, we will crossover from the ORDINARY into the EXTRAORDINARY because whatever He is urging, suggesting that we do or be (SALT/LIGHT) it will require us to depend on His supernatural spirit to dwell in us......but we have to be invitational, yes submitting ourselves to His will, and allowing the HOLY SPIRIT access to our hearts. MARY already had a plan that now we are about to see interrupted........you too have a plan, but I wonder will you consider GOD's plan, better than yours and accept HIS INVITATION into the EXTRAORDINARY!
