Luke 1:46
Mary said, "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour…. The Mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name."
What of Today’s Verse…
While Mary’s submission to God’s will costs her in ways we can never imagine, for Jesus to come to life in the hearts of people today our attitude must be the same as her attitude was on this night of miracle and mystery. We too, must be willing to be the Lord’s servant and offer him the praise of our lives and of our lips. In Jesus, the Lord has done great things for us!
Let us Pray:
Majestic Father, Almighty God, you have done wonderful things for me. You have saved me from sin, you have paid the price for my rebellion, and you have given me the promise of heaven and the Holy Spirit to empower me there. You are greater than I can imagine and your glory is without comparison, yet you have stooped so low as to reach me and then raised me back up with you by your grace. I can never fully thank you, for you are more wonderful to me than my words can declare or a thousand years of life could repay. Through Jesus I give you all glory and praise. Amen.

I include you in prayer, affirming the highest and best for you now and in the future. May you always know how much you have blessed me and others. And may you always know that the light of God within you enfolds you wherever you are.
