Are you wondering “how can I accomplish my work, my assignment, my goals when I have no money, no materials and tools to work with, no education or no training?” I ask you, is there anything too hard for the Lord? - “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27).

Conceiving a child in the womb sounds easy enough, but to conceive a child without a man - ”how shall this be?” (Luke 1:34). How in the world would a virgin, who is the last person anyone would think God would use, could give birth to His son without a man? Mary, the mother of Jesus asked this question, not out of doubt, but in hopes of receiving a further explanation as to how her assignment would be accomplished. And a further explanation was given to her.

Maybe you’re wondering the same thing about an assignment or mission that has been appointed to you. You may not think you have what it takes to do what God has planned for your life, but the truth is, everything you need is already in you. If God did not think so, he would not have called you in the first place.

Believe in yourself, as God who appointed you, believes in you. Remember the words of the angel that was said unto Mary - "Fear Not." And if there is anything you are doing for which you need further clarification, as to how you will be able to accomplish your assignment or mission, just ask God. He will guide you every step of the way just as He did with Noah in the building of the ark - "And this is the fashion which you shall make of it…" (Genesis 6:15a).

"And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you. Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God"  (Luke 1:26-27, 30-31, 34-35) ****************************************************************************** Copyright © 2002-2015 Gale Wilcox/A New Day Ministries
