Luke 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Mary didn't know how the Lord was going to bring about His plans for her life. She was open to this amazing news that she would be the mother of the Messiah but the details were absolutely impossible for her to figure out. She asked and the angel told her how it would happen. There is nothing wrong in asking God how He plans to do something if our intention is to obey. He might answer us. He might not. Here, Mary was going to have an experience with the Holy Spirit and as a result God's plan was going to be birthed. Jesus was God's plan. Let us learn from Mary. Let's be in a place where we are cooperating with His plans and seeking to be in line with how He wants to do things. Let's let the Holy Spirit overshadow us today and bring to birth things only He can.
When we wait on the Lord and walk in His will, we are like God's secret agents on top secret missions! Only eternity will tell all the things He has done in the secret counsels of His will through us. Mary simply heard, and obeyed. Joseph didn't second guess God. And they fit into His master plan like the pieces of an intricate puzzle.
