How can this be?
When the angel told Mary God had chosen her to be the mother of His Son, her response was understandable: "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" Imagine how she must have felt. What would people think? How could she care for a baby? What would Joseph say? Would he abandon her? No wonder she "was greatly troubled" if ever something was impossible this was it. But that's what makes a miracle miraculous!
Maybe you're out of work and trusting God to provide for your family, nevertheless you're asking, "How can this be when I'm unemployed?" Or perhaps you're sick and although you know that He's the Lord who "healeth all thy diseases", you're wondering, "How can this be when I still have my symptoms?" We all have times when our faith goes through the wringer and comes out dry.
But what's even more challenging is that Mary's situation was caused by God. He's not supposed to do that. He's supposed to bless and rescue you, right? But God had a plan. Mary was about to do something nobody would ever do again. And with that plan came a promise that can sustain you during your greatest tests of faith: "The Lord is with you". Once you understand that "The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it", your outlook changes radically. So if you're struggling, remember what the angel said to Mary, "Nothing is impossible with God", because He's saying the same to you!
