According to Your Word

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. (Luke 1:26-27 NKJV)

Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." (Luke 1:38 NKJV)

Day 11 of 25 Days of Christmas. The prophet spoke of an obscure virgin who would bear a son. To us, she has a name - Mary. She reminds us that sometimes obedience is scary with uncertain outcomes but at the same time so full of promise.

Pray today for the favor of God to continue to rest upon Emmanuel College, for that favor to loose generosity among God's people that enables us to secure the financial resources necessary to advance God's mission and purpose for us.

Mary kept these things and pondered them in her heart. (Luke 2:19 NKJV)
