Luke 1:28

** Image ID #1638925 Unavailable **

And the angel came in unto her, and said 'Hail! Thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women."





Luke 1:28 (KJV)

I wonder what Mary was feeling, doing just moments before the angel showed up in her home. Was she praying, had she fought with her mom, or maybe her little brothers and sisters were getting on her nerves?  Maybe Mary was dreaming over her sewing, thinking about a certain young man named Joseph. After all she was planning a wedding.





“Hail!” just like that. It used to be a greeting like hello or hey. Hard to imagine but angel used an ordinary word. We turned it into part of a prayer.


What would I do if an angel said to “Hey!” to me?  I hope I have the spiritual eyes to recognize him. Also I would like to discern what kind of angel it is. We all know that Lucifer can masquerade as an angel of light. When it’s all said and done, I would be disbelieving, flattered, humbled, and awed.





And yet all I have to read really read and feel and ponder these words:





And God so love the world that He sent His one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 and I can find those same feelings.





No angel required
