When the call of God enters into your life, the world changes and God changes you. Think of some call stories found within Scripture. The call of Jacob resulted in wrestling with an angel. The call of Moses came through a burning bush. And the call of Mary came from an angel. And all of these people had their lives changed because of the call and their response of "yes".
When Mary was called she was probably fifteen years old or younger. That is hard for many of us to wrap our minds around. But because she was so young, all of our excuses that we may have to put God off or say no, fade away. No, we are not too young or too old. Too rich or too poor. Not known enough. Or not courageous enough. Mary shows us what it means to take a risk for God out of faithfulness.
What about us? What would lead us to respond as Mary did, with faithfulness and obedience? What is God inviting you to be a part of for the sake of the world?
