Dear brothers and sisters,
In Psalms 33:12-22, the psalmist extols the blessedness of the nation whose God is the Lord, acknowledging God's sovereignty over all creation and His faithfulness to His people. They encourage the righteous to trust in God's unfailing love and to wait upon Him with hope and expectation.
Luke 1:26-38 recounts the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary, announcing the miraculous conception of Jesus Christ. Despite the impossibility of the situation, Mary responds with humility and faith, surrendering her life to God's will and declaring her willingness to be used by Him for His purposes.
Numbers 1 records the census of the Israelites as they prepare for their journey through the wilderness. This chapter highlights God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promise to make the descendants of Abraham into a great nation, as well as His meticulous organization of His people for the journey ahead.
Numbers 2:1-9 outlines the arrangement of the tribes around the tabernacle during their encampment in the wilderness. This organization reflects God's orderliness and attention to detail in preparing His people for their journey to the Promised Land.
As we reflect on these passages, let us embrace the example of Mary's faithful obedience, trusting in God's promises and surrendering to His perfect plan for our lives. May we acknowledge God's sovereignty and faithfulness, waiting upon Him with hope and expectation. And may we walk in obedience to His word, knowing that no word from God will ever fail, and His plans for us are always for our good and His glory.
