Mary’s YES allowed her to participate in the purposes of God. Her no would have excluded her from God’s purposes. She knew that there was a risk involved. She had questions that were not answered in a concrete way. All she knew was that God was asking something of her. God had given her a mission: to bear his Son. How could she turn him down? So, Mary’s YES adventure began. She gave God her YES. He did the rest.

What is God asking of you? As you recognize Him at work, calling you, there is really only one thing to do if you want to live this adventure of a YES life. Say YES and leave the rest to him. Mary will tell you that, although it is scary, God can be trusted and it’s worth the risk.

Give God your YES. Trust Him with the rest.

What is God asking of you that will involve risk and requires your YES? Decide how you will respond today. Don’t put it off any longer.
