For the past few days, we’ve examined why God chose Mary to be the mother of His Son. Well, why we think He may have chosen Mary. We’ve already seen that she is humble and willing to do whatever the Lord asks of her, even in the face of some very formidable circumstances. Today as we read her beautiful Magnificat, I believe it reveals an even deeper view of who Mary was and why God would choose her.
Mary responded,
“Oh, how my soul praises the Lord.
How my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior!
For he took notice of his lowly servant girl,
and from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things for me.
He shows mercy from generation to generation
to all who fear him.
His mighty arm has done tremendous things!
He has scattered the proud and haughty ones.
He has brought down princes from their thrones
and exalted the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away with empty hands.
He has helped his servant Israel
and remembered to be merciful.
For he made this promise to our ancestors,
to Abraham and his children forever.”
Luke 1:46-55 (NLT)
There it is right there! Mary knew the covenant promises of God, and she already believed they would come to pass. She didn’t just know them, she believed them. She already knew about all He had done. Her praises are filled with references to the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets.
Mary wasn’t just another Israelite girl who was the right age and of the right lineage. She was a girl who had her heart filled with the Word of God! So, when God called on her to be the vessel to bring His Son into the world, she was ready and willing.
Today’s truth is our God is worthy of all our praise and honor! He is mighty to save and has done great things for us.
