LUKE 1:46-55
Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat
And Mary said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.And his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
To receive requires humility. Responding to God in faith and trust is built in the minutes and moments of our days - in a long obedience in the same direction.
How are you listening for the voice of God in your life? Are you making space for His divine interruptions?
