Responding to God
Mary and Joseph’s betrothal was probably something their families had long prayed for. Both were from King David’s lineage—a perfect match that would have given both families reason to rejoice. But suddenly God interrupted their celebration.
The swiftness of the angel’s descent into Mary’s story gave her no time to prepare for his message: She had found favor with God and would give birth to His Son—even though she was still a virgin. She must have experienced a torrent of emotion—besides her awe, thoughts of what her family and community would think must have poured into her mind. Mary had to decide: Would she surrender to God’s plan, one that seemed impossible and frightening on the surface?
Mary’s courageous and humble response blazed a trail for every believer. When we surrender to God’s interruptions, we can rest in the knowledge that He always has a higher purpose for our lives.
Activity: As a family, research how different cultures celebrate Christmas. Consider adopting some new traditions.

Über diesen Leseplan
In einer stillen Nacht vor 2000 Jahren verkündeten Engel ein paar Hirten bei ihren Schafen die Nachricht, dass der Retter geboren sei. Daraufhin verließen diese Hirten alles, um ein Kindlein in einer Krippe in Betlehem zu suchen. Und diese Einladung ist bis heute dieselbe. Mach dich mit Dr. Charles Stanley auf den Weg, näher zu deinem Retter zu finden und lass dich von ihm ermutigen, in der Adventszeit Ruhe in der Liebe des Vaters zu finden.
