How can Abraham say No to the Lord, after hearing the Lord’s voice for 25 years during the waiting period for His son Isaac, where the Lord’s voice was guiding, encouraging and strengthening him to survive the waiting period?

I Belong To The Lord, Body And Soul!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 19, 2008

JB Phillips translates Luke 1:38 like this, ’I belong to the Lord, body and soul. Let it happen as you say.’ Mary’s response of simple, humble faith challenges us to respond positively to the Lord’s call. How will we respond when he next calls us?

When God first called you what was your response? When God next calls you to something new, something different, what will be your response? The key to this Bible reading is Mary’s response of obedience. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary said. “May it be to me as you have said” (1:38). JB Phillips ...read more
