Mary, the mother of Jesus, was told by the Angel Gabriel that she would conceive by the Holy Spirit and bear a child named Jesus. Mary's response, since obviously Gabriel was speaking for God, was "be it unto me according to thy word".

As we read God's Word, as we hear it and (hopefully) live it, the question we must ask ourselves is this...do we say to God "be it unto me according to thy Word"? Do we follow the Word of God EXACTLY, or do we modify it to fit what we want or worse, do we selectively follow what we want and ignore what we don't like?

Great cases in point including living with a member of the opposite sex enjoying the privileges of marriage without the binding covenant that God calls us to, or perhaps couching gossip in the guise of "concern". Wives must submit to their husbands in God's economy, but often we hear that those verses are not for "today". The same goes for accepting compromise in the area of drugs, alcohol, abortion, "alternate" lifestyles, sorcery, horoscopes, etc...the list goes on and on.

Jesus puts it point blank...if you love me, obey my commandments. He asks us for nothing more and nothing less.

Pray with me that we have the desire to completely obey God's Word...

Luk 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
