Mary

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

Luke 1:38

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about the Lord’s Prayer and determined that it is unbiblical to pray to Mary or the saints. With that said, it is hard to find a better example of a servant with a heart after God than Mary. When she prayed, be it unto me according to thy word, she echoed the very words of the Messiah, thy will be done, even before they had been spoken. Even if she didn’t yet understand the heartache she would have to endure as she watched her first-born son crucified, surely she understood that she would be mocked and rejected as a harlot by those who would never believe her account of the immaculate conception. Mary was chosen because God knew she wanted to please him more than man. He knew she was more concerned with living an obedient life than being respectable, comfortable, or happy. While it’s not biblical to pray to Mary, we would all do well to pray that we would be as ready to accept God’s will, what ever it may be, as Mary was.

Come back every Sunday for a new Prepper Bible Study! The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
