Saturday, December 8, 2013 - Mary's Song of Praise

AM Devotion/Prayer

Lesson: Luke 1:46-56
Mary's Song of Praise

Luke 1:46-56

The Message (MSG)
46-55 And Mary said,
I’m bursting with God-news;
    I’m dancing the song of my Savior God.
God took one good look at me, and look what happened—
    I’m the most fortunate woman on earth!
What God has done for me will never be forgotten,
    the God whose very name is holy, set apart from all others.
His mercy flows in wave after wave
    on those who are in awe before him.
He bared his arm and showed his strength,
    scattered the bluffing braggarts.
He knocked tyrants off their high horses,
    pulled victims out of the mud.
The starving poor sat down to a banquet;
    the callous rich were left out in the cold.
He embraced his chosen child, Israel;
    he remembered and piled on the mercies, piled them high.
It’s exactly what he promised,
    beginning with Abraham and right up to now.
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for three months and then went back to her own home.
Review for Beginner's Class:
1.  Mary gave two special gifts to God.
2.  One was herself; she told God, I am your servant, and I will do anything you want.
3.  The second gift was she gave God praise.
4.  Mary praised God that He kept His promise to Israel and that she could be a part of God's plan.
5.  Question:  God promised Israel a what?  Ans. Savior
What is his name? Jesus
