God's strength is displayed not through earthly power, but through weakness. He came not as a superhero or a conquering king with an entourage, but as a helpless baby born to poor parents in a lowly town. This was God's plan to show that He is stronger than sin and death! Like Mary, who believed God's promise despite her humble status, we are called to trust in God's faithfulness, not our own strength. Faith is believing that God will fulfill His promises, even when we are weak or don't understand.
