Good Morning!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Luke 1:46-56 ~ Mary understood; she was special only because God is great and He had gifted her. He has gifted you, too. What song does your life sing?
Mary's song is simple and direct. She gives praise to God for who He is and then praises Him for all He has done. She knew that she was special and blessed because of what He was and had done for all His people.
God's plan was in action and Mary knew her part! Look at verse 50: "His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation." Mary sang of history and future. God had - did - and will always take care of His people. We are included in that promise!
It says that Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. What do you think they discussed? Baby stuff - wonder if he will have dark hair; will he be colicky; will he be a good sleeper...? Or did they discuss the future - will John and Jesus be together; what will they do; how will their lives play out? They both knew that Mary was carrying the Son of God and He would do great things. Elizabeth also knew her son would be special. I am sure that those three months together were very special for both women.
Have you ever thought about your life song? Take some time and think about it and even write it down. What is your life song?
