"Jesus said to him, If you can believe all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23)

The faith of Mary and Joseph in hindsight may not look to some as awesome. But just imagine being visited by an angel who whispers that you are to have a child not of natural means. “This is how the birth of Jesus the messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit” (Mat 1:18).

To many this conception is problematic for it violates our understanding of natural laws. Yet what happened here is the manifestation of the spiritual laws that guides the universe. For is it possible to fully comprehend how the universe came together with all the galaxies and life on earth! It has been a long and quite hopeless search – for those who have troubled themselves.

Mary and Joseph realized that God could make all things possible and obeyed Him. Their experience could also face any of us where we face a situation that requires faith beyond human understanding. Instead of looking to the physical laws and their limitations let us have the faith that nothing is impossible with God.

Prayer for today: Lord Father in heaven, today I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that I have that faith of Mary and Joseph that all things are possible to they that believe, this I pray in Jesus’ name!
