Do you need a new dream, purpose, or plan for your life? A Christmas story in the Bible gives a great plan for the miraculous. A young lady named Mary, received a divine encounter with Gabriel, an angel sent from God.

She receives the news, she will have a Son, and call His name Jesus. The Holy Spirit from God will come and overshadow her (Luke 1:34-38). Mary responds in three ways. We can also use her response as a guide for our plans and purposes:

1. Give Unconditional Surrender to God      

2. Be a Carrier of the Word 

3. Believe the Word

Mary heard the astonishing word from God and said, "I am your servant. Let your word come true in my life." This young woman did not refuse the surprise word that came, but surrendered her life to carry a new life. She believed the words of God.    

As you make your plans for the New Year...

1. Fill yourself with the written Word of God to be a carrier of life?                    

2. Believe what God has already spoken in His Word?

God bless you as you allow the power of the Highest to overshadow your life.
