Chosen by God
The eyes of the Lord had been upon the young Mary for many a year, for she was called and chosen to be His special vessel for His Unique Son. The righteousness of this woman had not gone unnoticed before the Lord, for the eyes of Mary had been upon the Lord for many a year during her short life. Her devotion to God dictated an equal devotion to the Son of His love. Her poverty and lowly state were no barrier to the Lord, for her delight was in the Lord. Indeed her humility of heart and modest estate was what attracted His attention: for who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies….. ..for a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:10,30
