Joy to the World: An Advent Bible Reading PlanSample

Read Luke 1:34-37
Mary wonders about this message from the Angel and asks how it is going to happen.
Pray
Pray for how. Notice that Mary’s reaction to the angel’s news is different than Zechariah – he asks, “how can I be sure of this?” but she asks “how will this be?”. Pray today that God would do His will in your life more like Mary – “God show me how to do what you have planned for me.”
Practice
Make some time with a friend or a family member or loved one – someone you trust – and ask them, “what do you think that God has planned for my life in the next few months?” Listen to their response and thank them for their thoughts.
