God's Promise to Mary - Luke 1:45-55

God's Promise to Mary Luke 1:45-55

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   I will be continuing from the book "The Promise of Christmas is Jesus," by Jack Countryman.
Luke:1-45-55 "Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord. " And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.  For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
  49-For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.  And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
  51-He has shown strength with His arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
  53-He has fill the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.  He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever. (New King James Version)
   Mary appeared to be just another girl from a small town when this all was revealed we see she had character and tremendous faith in God, whom she had never seen.
   Mary did what we need to do, be obedient and give our life go God.  Mary risked the chance of being shamed and scorned, but she was willing and able to obediently follow God's plan.  Because of this we, and everyone, as celebrated what she brought forth for over 2,000 years.
   This was a unique gift given to us all from our Father.  This is a once in a life-time, one of a kind gift and we need to remember this and cherish this gift.  However, as most gifts are given to you, for you, and only for you, Jesus is a gift that was given to each of us to share and yet never lose.  How awesome is that?  And through Jesus we have the Living Word.  
       Here is a riddle that applies to God:  "Even if you give it to someone else, you still get to keep it. What is it?  the answer YOUR WORD.  God gave us HIS WORD!
   God gave you His most precious gift - how do you thank Him?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
