the Holy Spirit is the answer

HolySpirit_BibleLuke 1:26-56.  Mary was amazed to find that she had been chosen of all women to give birth to the Messiah, the Son of God.  Her question was not “why me?”  because she knew that any time God works among humans it is by grace.  She was aware of her own “humble estate” (41).  Her question was “How will this be?” and Gabriel’s answer was “The Holy Spirit will come upon you” (35).

God also provided confirmation of what Mary already believed (45) by sending Elizabeth. She was filled with the Holy Spirit, and told Mary that she was “blessed among women” (42).

LORD, if ever we are inclined to doubt how things are going to work out for us – remind us of Mary and Elizabeth.  remind us that the Holy Spirit is the answer.

    I agree so I thought I’d stop by to tell you I found and VERY cool and FREE bible and bible study site and thought I’d share it with you.

    Their organization, Bible.org has the desire to help people develop a stronger walk with God.
    They have an AWESOME, extremely comprehensive FREE online bible/bible study tool that let’s you search from one place but will search multiple places FOR you…even the internet! Not many (if any) do that! You’re even able to take notes right there and it’s saved for the very scripture you’re reading! That’s pretty cool since it can help you remember what your thoughts were as you study the bible.

    I did say awesome right?

    As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also over 17,000 articles to help you with research on a variety of different issues!

    And did I mention yet…it’s FREE! 😀

    So I hope you’ll share this post and tell everyone you know about it and help them spread the word. And even check it out for yourself, you’ll be glad you did!

    God bless you on your spiritual journey.
