Rejoice O highly favored One

"Rejoice, you who enjoy God's favor! The Lord is with you!" (Luke 1:28)

The Angel Gabriel also said to Mary:

  • Mary, do not be afraid, you have won God's favor.
  • The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow.
  • For God's promises can never fail.

Mary answered:

  • You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as you have said.

I like very much the reminder that God's promises never fail. Here are a few other instances of this word:

  • With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible (Matthew 19: 26, Mark 10: 27)
  • What is impossible for man is possible for God (Luke 18: 27)
  • With God nothing is impossible (Luke 1: 37)
  • Nothing will be impossible for them (Genesis 11: 6)
  • Nothing will be impossible for you (Matthew 17: 20)
  • I can do all things through him who strengthens me (Philippians 4: 13)
