If He calls us to a mission and we are faithful to follow the call, He will equip us with talents and resources to fulfill it.<br />Thanks as always for sharing your insights, and God bless.<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-50291313633110032312015-11-16T09:26:35.298-08:002015-11-16T09:26:35.298-08:00God uses ordinary people to do his work.

These women were so ordinary as to have one of the most common names and are only distinguished by what they did, yet each one had a significant impact on the church throughout history, simply because they believed God. God rarely uses the gifted, the highly educated, or the wealthy but usually chooses the ordinary and unknown to accomplish his plan. <br /><br />Great post.

I pray each time I write that His Holy Spirit will guide me to the right passages and give me the words He would have me express, and I thank Him for His faithfulness. I am blessed by your comment just as I am by your own writing.<br /><br />It is sad that false teachers have deified Mary and attempted to cast doubt on Christ's purity. Even Mary herself realized she too needed a Savior and willingly submitted herself to God's perfect plan.<br /><br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-7470520016045755892015-11-15T06:31:22.283-08:002015-11-15T06:31:22.283-08:00Dear Laurie,

However, heresy has never been that far away, first with the Roman Catholic idea the Mary was the mother of God, since Jesus is the incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity. Secondly comes this theory, dreamt up by modern academics, that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus.<br />But despite all that, I admired the way Mary, whilst pregnant with Jesus at the presence of John and Elizabeth, recited a poem borrowed from Hannah the mother of Samuel, and delivered a beautiful magnificat to the glory of God.<br />A brilliant post.
