263. Walking in Humility (NT - #2) - Mary April 5, 2023

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 5. I will then go over verses 18-20 - Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times, And always be enraptured with her love. For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress? Friends, the grass is NOT always greener on the other side of the fence. My wife and I have recently celebrated our 27th anniversary and our marriage is better than it's ever been! There is no reason for either of us to look at any other person (of the opposite sex). I treat my wife as though she is the most important person in the world (because she is). She honors me, and I honor her. If you treat each other that way, your marriage will continue to improve. Today we will take a closer look at Mary, the mother of Jesus. I will open by reading Luke, Chapter 1 and read from verses 26-45. This is the account of the angel Gabriel coming to Mary and informing her that she has been given the opportunity to be the son of God. What an honor! Mary gladly accepts. I will read commentaries pertaining to several verses in this passage of scripture to give the audience things to ponder about this wonderful story. In closing, I ask everyone listening to consider Mary, and what it must have been like over 2,000 years ago when this story happened. Tomorrow we will take a closer look at Mary's husband, Joseph.
