TOPIC: The Willing And Available Vessel
TEXT: Matthew 1:18-25(NKJV)
STUDY: The birth of Jesus had long been prophesied since the time of Prophet Isaiah (Isa. 9:6-7). Now it was time for the long-awaited Messiah to be born; God chose the virgin Mary to be the vessel to carry divinity.
In a world of tainted values, Mary distinguished herself and became a vessel of honour unto God – a lesson to young ladies today. The story also brought up a challenge of integrity on the part of Joseph. The Bible describes him as “a just man,” but the pregnant state of his betrothed wife raised a difficult social and psychological trauma for him.
The popular and acceptable option in Jewish custom was to put her away publicly and allow her to be stoned for whoredom. God intervened on her behalf and helped him realise that the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Joseph chose to bear the shame of being ridiculed instead of her being publicly disgraced.
God desires to use everyone one of us in different ways to fulfil His purposes here on earth. But will you be like Mary and Joseph, who were willing and available in spite of fear of public disgrace? Is there any area God is calling you for His use? Submit yourself to Him and you will be blessed.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, here I am Lord, use me for your glory. I am willing and available.
