Luke 1:46–47 (NKJV)
[46] And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
[47] And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.”
Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
We are still recounting how the young virgin Mary became pregnant with the Savior of the world. This could have been a very frustrating situation—when a young lady is looking forward to a gorgeous wedding day, and suddenly, boom, she finds herself pregnant without any action of her own.
When adversity strikes, what is our response? Do we have God in us who will flow through us to give us the resilience needed not just to survive, but to thrive?
It takes the Spirit of God living in us to overcome such situations and to walk in God’s peace. In the midst of her situation, Mary was able to magnify the Lord and praise His name.
May the joy of the Lord be our portion all the days of our lives, in Jesus’ mighty name. May the Spirit of the Lord overshadow us and cause us to be at peace at all times, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
