God’s plans often come as interruptions to our carefully constructed lives. Zechariah, a faithful priest, and Mary, a humble teenager had two starkly different responses to divine intrusions. Zechariah, wearied by years of unanswered prayer, struggled to believe God’s promise of a son in his old age. Mary, however, received the unimaginable call to be the mother of the Messiah, yet she responded with awe and surrender. Both were called to trust God in ways that defied human logic. Their stories remind us that faith isn’t about having all the answers but about surrendering to God’s purposes, even when they seem impossible. Are you prepared to let God disrupt your plans? True faith means saying, like Mary, “I am the servant of the Lord, may it be to me according to your word,” and then stepping into the unknown, confident that His ways are always good.
