Luke 1: 46-48a

I love this act of celebration that we observe through Mary in these verses. She is visiting with her relative Elizabeth right after she has the visitation from Gabriel. Mary has just learned that she will be the one who brings the Messiah into existence. This young poor woman will be the one who feels the Son of God grow within her.

How does she respond? She sings! She celebrates! She does this from deep down within her. She says that her "soul" and "spirit" glorify and rejoice in God her savior. When she says these words she displays that every single ounce of her is dedicated to celebrating and worshipping the God that has done this for her. The God who has remembered her.

What if we were to celebrate what God has done for us in this way? What do you think might happen? I'd love to hear.

God's Peace,
Pastor Brad
