Magnify The Lord

And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.”

- Luke 1:46-49, NKJV

When faced with a difficult or impossible situation, do you take time out to magnify the Lord…in word and deed - And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name” (Luke 1:46-49, NKJV). Mary embraced a seemingly impossible situation, one that could have jeopardized the rest of her life, and counted it as a blessing from the Lord. She embraced the challenge of motherhood, as well as, the potential shame associated with it. Fortunately, Mary sought the glory of God’s blessings over the potential comments, mockery, or shame of this world…acknowledging the sovereignty of God’s will and its impact over the time. We do well to learn from such humility…such obedience…understanding that obedience to God’s Word brings forth life through a spiritual birth. It is this very “birth” springing from within our souls that if uninhibited will bring glory to the Lord and subsequently bless you. So in this season will you choose to say “yes” to the Lord and magnify His name regardless of what He is asking or will you walk away fearing the reprisal that may ensue? While the choice is yours, know that He has and will continue to do great things for those who obey His way. Today, allow the Lord to birth a mighty and awesome thing in you and allow His glory to spring forth from you…then watch how a difficult situation promotes life all around you - He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive (John 7:38-39, NKJV).

BE BLESSED!
