“His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him.
He has done a mighty deed with His arm;
He has scattered the proud because of the thoughts of their hearts;
He has toppled the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
He has satisfied the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.
He has helped His servant Israel, mindufl of His mercy,
just as He spoke to our anscestors, to Abraham and is descendants forever.”
Luke 1:50-55
The miracle of the incarnation proved to be the spark that instigated Mary’s response of praise to Almighty God. The focus is on Him alone and not on any merit that Mary may have had. She emphasizes His mercy, His power, His omniscience, His provision, and His promise-keeping.
What has God done in your life today? How have you responded to His work? Indifference? Expectancy? Praise? The Almighty God has done great things for us…Holy is His name.
