And behold, even your relative Elizabeth herself has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called infertile is now in her sixth month. For nothing will be impossible with God. – Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭36‬-‭37‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Mary’s astonishment at a child being conceived by a virgin, and her personally being chosen to carry the Messiah, God’s Son, is nothing short of unfathomable. As I see it, not since Moses’ encounter with the great I AM, had there been such an announcement of God’s divine intervention into the impossibility of humanity’s condition.

This divine encounter concerning a virgin and Elizabeth, a barren woman, would bring forth God’s eternal redemptive love and plan for eternity. The angel gives Mary a sign of confirmation, telling her that her relative Elizabeth is already six months with child.

God’s ways are to give a word and then confirm it to us with signs and wonders of all kinds. When there seems to be no way God makes a way.

The Angel brings the word of the Lord from heaven to her and all believers in generations to come. “Nothing is impossible with God.”

In this season of such wonders—with God clearly intervening—not by just moving on men, prophets, kings, judges, and men of faith. He now does this:

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. – ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

He will be called God with us and nothing will be impossible for those who will go with God. Glory to God in the highest!
