Whatever: Part 2

'Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name, lead and guide me.' (Psalm 31:3, NIV)

Yesterday, we were reminded of the total abandonment of Mary when she responded to her part in God’s plan in the birth of God’s Son. She was simply a yielded soul to the Lord. Her greatest attribute was her obedience. She leaned heavily on the fact that this was the Lord’s will and trusted her life to him.

We can all identify with Mary. Our greatest asset was her obedience. Mary’s response was a confident 'whatever' - not confident in herself but in God. You possess the same obedience that God longs for.

• Is there something God is calling you to do for him in the days ahead? Don’t get bogged down with a timeline or details. Trust God to lead and guide you.

Prayer: Lord, today, I put my trust in you, 'for the sake of your name, lead and guide me.' Amen.
