“Mary’s Song” Luke 1:46-53
“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant.

This last speaks NOT of mere food and money. It speaks of spirit, soul, mind, purpose, way… in as much – The beatitudes does.

God though hears the call of the ‘hungry’ – the heart that sincerely seeks to be filled by all that God provides. ‘Hungry” is both physically and spiritually.
The ‘fear” spoken here is – revere. Those who revere God and live in harmony with His will.
Mary’s song – is a hymn, a psalm we all may know in our hearts… and verse 46 is really each of ours call and prayfully our song.
“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…”

Well,
Does it? We may ask this of ourselves. This the “Living Word” of God – “God Breathed” to us.
This Good Friday… Jesus gave ALL to the The Father for US. NOTHING about self gain… or self will.
The WILL of the ONE TRUE GOD
Sought – Served – Glorified.
God’s perfect order for us too –
As He gives us in “Mary’s Song”
Sing it outloud – hear it – live it… be it.
THERE we will not find ourselves empty.
><> - In Jesus’ Name - <>< Amen
