Everything God does is significant. Big, small, and everything in between - it all counts as the mighty work of His hands.
But sometimes, we overlook the Lord’s work in light of our inflated expectations.
We find ourselves consumed with waiting for God to do something big, all while He is actively working in smaller ways around us. Mary was challenged with this, in reconciling a long awaited desire for a savior with the immediate weight of an unexpected pregnancy. Her miraculous demonstration of faith is one that is accessible to us all, if we consider that God’s good gifts don’t always come wrapped in the way we expect.
This Christmas, we’ll give special attention to such ordinary miracles. Whatever God is doing, and, more importantly, however He chooses to work, must be our priority. Big or small, easy or hard, extraordinary or ordinary - it all counts as miraculous, and the Lord is worthy of praise for every thing He does!
