I always find it interesting to look back over time and see the ways that God has worked to orchestrate events in my life. I'll bet that Mary and the disciples saw the same thing when they looked back on the life of Jesus as this book was being written. At the time, it was amazing to both Mary and Elizabeth that they would have children, but I don't think that either of them realized exactly what their children would do in life. Looking back after the crucifixion, I think that Mary saw how all of the events had been orchestrated and that as she shared her stories again with Luke she realized exactly why things had to happen the way that they did.
When you look back on your own life, can you see God's hand at work? You should. And when you do, then you also realize that that means that wherever you are now is the end result of the design that's always been playing out. So ask yourself, what is it that God wants me to do here, at this point? How can I be of service of Him so that He can continue to orchestrate my life?
