How to seek and find then; lose all you had gained!
{Sounds like gambeling to me!}

Luke 1:34, "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

LUKE 1:26-38

Contrast Mary's question and Gabriel's response with the question that Zacharias asked Gabriel and the response that he received (Luke 1:18-20).

You will find the questions are similar but the responses are totally different.


Both Mary and Zacharias asked how these miracles would occur but it is evident that Mary was asking "how" in faith while Zacharias was asking "how" in unbelief. It is a clear Bible teaching that unbelief doesn't please God (Heb. 11:6), but the Lord doesn't mind us questioning Him for the purpose of instruction so we can cooperate with His will in our lives.


Abram knew that it was God's will for him to have a son but Abram and Sarai came up with their own plan which caused them and the world much grief (Gen. 16:1-6).

Hagar and Ishmael

16 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; {whom had been given to Abram by Pharaoh.}

2 so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children.

Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”

Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4 He slept with Hagar, and she conceived.

When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.”

6 “Your slave is in your hands,” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.”

Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.


Abram would have avoided many problems if he had asked the Lord how He was going to accomplish this miraculous event.


If Mary had not questioned this angel, she might have reasoned that Jesus would be born through the natural union of her and Joseph. This would have been a grave mistake. It would have disqualified her from being used.


It's not enough just to know God's will.


We need to continue to seek the Lord until we know God's plan for accomplishing His will.


** We are here on earth to seek, learn and then if we make the right decision; to carryout what we were instructed! Have you got it?

It is more a test of our God given talents and how we use them. We were equipped with our God given Intelligence to seek and assimilate the Truth in our lives... It is sad that so many tend to become detracted by the false or fake things of the world - most in the form of " feel good or greed " - none lasting long!

** If and when you get your attention on the right sheet of music, then you can follow along with the director and be in tune with the Eternal Melody of God's plan and purpose!

Amen!
