Day 22- Mary’s Song
After Elizabeth finishes talking to Mary, Mary speaks up and gives a prophetic proclamation of praise that is known today as Mary’s song. When you truly have a divine encounter with Jesus, the appropriate thing to do is to reflect, sing, proclaim and worship. Here’s the song (taken from I Samuel 2:1-10):
“Then Mary said, “I praise the Lord with all my heart. I am very happy because God is my Savior. I am not important, but he has shown his care for me, his lowly servant. From now until the end of time, people will remember how much God blessed me. Yes, the Powerful One has done great things for me. His name is very holy. He reached out his arm and showed his power. He scattered those who are proud and think great things about themselves. He brought down rulers from their thrones and raised up the humble people. He filled the hungry with good things, but he sent the rich away with nothing. God has helped Israel—the people he chose to serve him. He did not forget his promise to give us his mercy. He has done what he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and his children forever.”” Luke 1:46-55
Take Away: Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months, which meant it was about time for John to be born.
