2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 79

Response-able Faith

Luke 1:26-56

“Then Mary said, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let it be with me just as you have said.” Then the angel left her.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭38‬ ‭CEB‬‬

 “Mary said, “With all my heart I glorify the Lord! In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭46‬-‭47‬ ‭CEB‬‬
Two announcements. Two faithful people. Two very different responses.

Zechariah questioned. Mary surrendered. Both had questions. Both had faith. But Mary’s response is different:
“I am the Lord’s servant. Let it be with me just as you have said.”

No delay. No bargaining. Just surrender. And what follows isn’t fear—it’s worship.

“With all my heart I glorify the Lord… in the depths of who I am I rejoice.”

That’s the shift. Surrender isn’t the loss of joy—it’s the doorway to it.

Faith In Action

Where is God asking for your “yes” before you have all the details?
Lord, help me trust You enough to say yes—fully and quickly.
