Topic: Knowing God’s Will Is Not Enough
Luke 1:34, “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? “
Text: Luke 1:26-38
Contrast Mary’s question and Gabriel’s response with the question that Zacharias asked Gabriel and the response that he received (Luke 1:18-20). The questions are similar, but the reactions are totally different.
Mary and Zacharias asked how these miracles would occur, but it is evident that Mary was asking “how” in faith while Zacharias was asking “how” in unbelief. It is a clear Bible teaching that unbelief doesn’t please God (Heb. 11:6), but the Lord doesn’t mind us questioning Him for instruction so we can cooperate with His will.
Abram knew it was God’s will for him to have a son, but Abram and Sarai devised their own plan, which caused them and the world much grief (Gen. 16:1-6). Abram would have avoided many problems if he had asked the Lord how He would accomplish this miraculous event.
If Mary had not questioned this angel, she might have reasoned that Jesus would be born through the natural union of her and Joseph. This would have been a grave mistake. It would have disqualified her from being used.
It’s not enough just to know God’s will. We must continue to seek the Lord until we know God’s plan for accomplishing that will.
