Wig’s Word of God Today 12-8-2010
And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called Holy, the Son of God. Luke 1:35
Genesis 3:9-15, 20, Psalm 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4, Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12 & Luke 1:26-38
In Genesis we learn the serpent has tricked Eve into eating from the forbidden tree and as many a man will do, follow his girl into anything when she calls for him. We experience this even today when we allow Satan to trick us and lead us in a life of selfish acts. We forget about our families and responsibilities and allow the evil spirits to sway our feelings about doing wrong when we know in our heart we should be running away as fast as we can. There is much to learn from Genesis and we all should spend some time in this book to help direct our paths of righteousness.
Paul again reminds us Christ is the foundation of the world laid before all the heavens were in place. As too His Plan for Salvation by sending His Angel Gabriel to announce to Mary of Galilee that she would give birth to a son by stating, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1: 30-33 I have heard many a sermon on the words, “Do Not Be Afraid.” Words guided by many an Angel in Scripture to rid our soul of fear and replace it with faith, hope and love. Love your love of Christ and “Do Not Be Afraid.”
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, guide us to never be afraid just as Mary was in accepting her mission for all humanity. Send the Holy Spirit to us to practice, pray and proclaim the Good News to all we meet. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
A Kingdom With No End
Tricked by the serpent to see
Adam ate from the tree
Following the woman to be
Mother of all Humanity
Christ is in us
Foundation of all
Call upon Him
Salvation from the fall
Gabriel the Angel arrived
Seeking Mary’s side
“The Lord is with you,” he said
Her acceptance void of pride
A birth of a son you will give
He will rule over the world you live
A Kingdom with no end
The Son of God to commend
