Love God Greatly - God With UsSample

SOAP – Luke 1:46-49
God sends the angel Gabriel to announce Christ’s birth to Mary. He appears in this young girl's life, tells her she is highly favored, and speaks blessings upon her life and the life of her Son. When Mary is told that the impossible would happen in her life, her response is simple, “Let it be to me according to your word.” There was no arguing, no resistance, no urge to request details or signs. Simply calm acceptance.
In what circumstance might God be attempting to stretch your life? In what situation might you be resisting or missing God’s extraordinary presence? When a believer’s faith falters, she can rest in the promise that God wants to do great things in her life. When we seek God faithfully, we will find Him even in the most mundane and ordinary situations.
Father God, You are the God of all of my possibilities and my impossibilities. Create in me, Lord, a heart like Mary’s that yields to You. I desire a heart which will, in faith, calmly accept miracles being entrusted to me. When You attempt to stretch my narrow existence and bless me, Lord, hinder any resistance that I have to changes and challenges. Lord, prevent my desire for comfort, contentment, or convenience from keeping me from receiving the impossible in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

In this 4-week Love God Greatly Online Advent Bible study, we will look at some of the Old Testament promises of the Savior and the humility that would characterize Him. We will study why He came and the response of various people in the Christmas story, including how we too should respond to Jesus and His coming.
