Luke 1:46-55
The Song of Mary
46 And Mary said:
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His servant Israel,
In remembrance of His mercy,
55 As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”
Mary was a young girl but so well versed in who God was, what He was like. She was given the honor of bringing Jesus Christ into the world. God did not just randomly pick Mary. Mary loved God with all her heart, soul, and mind. Her song demonstrates how well she knew God.
So what do we learn of God from this peasant girl? Rejoice! Why? Because like Mary, God regarded our lowly state, our helpless condition. He has done the greatest thing for us, given us His Son who paid the ransom for our sin. His mercies are new every morning for those that fear Him. We’ve seen God do great things. He takes down kings and confounds the proud in their foolish endeavers. Even if you’re poor and hungry, He fills you with His Holy Spirit. And those who have built bigger barns, in the end they have no standing with Him. We can depend on God because after two thousand years, He remembers Israel.
He remembers His promise to Abraham. He remembers His promise to Israel; He will remember His promise to you.
