⁴⁴For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

⁴⁵And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

⁴⁶And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁷And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

⁴⁸For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeHopeAwe

Even though Mary's submission to God's will cost her in ways we can't imagine, if we want Jesus to come to life in people's hearts today, we need to have the same attitude as she did on that night of miracles and mysteries. We must also be willing to work for the Lord and praise Him with our lives and words. The Lord has done great things for us through Jesus.

Prayer

Almighty God, oh Majestic Father, You have done great things for me. You have redeemed me from sin, atoned for my disobedience, and given me the assurance of heaven and the Holy Spirit's enabling presence. You are more powerful than I can imagine, and Your glory is beyond all comparison, yet You reached out to me and, by Your grace, raised me up alongside You. I will never be able to express my gratitude to You in full because You have done more for me than I could ever express in words or in a thousand years. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

You have done great things for me, Majestic Father, Almighty God. You saved me from sin, paid for my disobedience, and gave me the promise of heaven and the Holy Spirit to help me get there. You are bigger than I can imagine, and your glory is unmatched. Yet, you stooped so low to reach me, and then by your grace, you brought me back up with you. I'll never be able to thank you enough, because you're more wonderful to me than words can say or a thousand lifetimes could make up for. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
