Luke
1:46 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. From now on all generations will call me blessed.
I
marvel at this young woman, who was really just a young teenage girl, how she
was so grounded in her faith to be chosen for this great honor. In Luke 1:42 the angel says to her
“blessed are you among women…” when God looked upon this girl He saw in her a
heart that loved and praised him. In her Magnificat, which is a song of praise
(Luke 1:46 -55) she recites several Old Testament
passages from memory. This was a young girl who loved God and believed that He
would accomplish all that He said He would. Unlike Aaron who didn’t believe the
angel when told his wife would conceive, Mary knew that the words the angel
spoke would happen. She knew this because she knew God, and she knew that in
Him all things are possible. She did not let the hardships that her situation
would bring upon her stop her from worshipping. Instead of concentrating on how
hard it would be to do what God was asking of her, she worshipped. I wonder
when faced with a difficult task we must do in order to obey God’s will for our
lives how many times do we grumble and complain instead of worship.
