📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:26-38
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[b] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”[c] 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”[d]
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[e] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[f] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the morning mindset. My name is Carrie Green. I'm here to help you get your mind right for the day. |
| 0:10.0 | And I hope that doesn't sound condescending or funny, but it really is true as human beings. |
| 0:16.6 | We are flawed creatures because of the power of sin that has affected our lives and it's not a religious thing, it's just a reality thing. |
| 0:26.1 | We are flawed, we are not perfect as our God is perfect. |
| 0:30.2 | And our desire every morning should be to get our minds aligned with the way that he thinks |
| 0:37.1 | about the way the universe works, including our thoughts about him, our thoughts about |
| 0:42.4 | ourselves, our thoughts about other people, and our thoughts |
| 0:45.2 | about our role in the world. |
| 0:47.8 | And the Bible is what we're using to help ourselves get our minds right. |
| 0:51.6 | And so since it is the Christmas season we've been looking at |
| 0:55.6 | the Christmas story and most recently since it is the Christmas season we've |
| 1:01.7 | been looking at Matthew chapter 1 |
| 1:03.7 | verse number 18 and this was the account of how the angel Gabriel came to |
| 1:10.2 | Mary and told her about the birth of Jesus that was coming and how she had been |
| 1:18.1 | blessed. |
| 1:19.1 | Actually it's in Luke 126 is where the story begins. |
| 1:21.8 | I misquoted the scripture there. And there's some interesting |
| 1:25.8 | things to notice here about Mary's attitude, first of all. She was responding with curiosity obviously because she didn't understand |
| 1:36.8 | how some of the things that the angel was describing to her could happen. But at the end, when he had explained everything, even though it still wasn't |
| 1:46.5 | absolutely comprehendable, she submitted herself to God's will. |
| 1:53.4 | She says at the very end, |
| 1:55.3 | be it to me according to your word. |
