Luke 1:48 For he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
IN HIS THOUGHTS
Do you ever feel as though you are too small and insignificant to be noticed by God? Do you ever feel as though your sins are so great that nobody as holy as the LORD would ever take the time to trouble Himself with you?
Maybe that is why Mary was chosen to be the mother of the Christ Child and not some woman great fame or power -- to remind us that God does not forget those who appear to be nothing in the eyes of the world.
Mary was but a humble servant of the Lord. She was a mere girl engaged to a carpenter. She was a plain, ordinary woman marrying a plain, ordinary man. Yet the Holy Spirit came upon her not only to place the Child Jesus into her womb, but also to strengthen her faith and trust in this same Son of God.
Likewise our God is mindful of us. He knows our every weakness. He sees our doubts and fears. Although we are but one on a planet of billions, He has us in mind, numbering even the very hairs on our heads. Never are we out of His thoughts, for we are His children and He remembers us who are but dust. He sent His Son into the world -- and He moved your heart to trust in that Son. Two great miracles!
