Blessing of the Lord
Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. Luke 46,47
Mary was surprised to be carrying Jesus. Being overwhelmed, she praises the Lord. The response to blessing of the Lord is praise and rejoicing. Words Mary uses depict wholehearted thanks to God. We can be carriers of the good news of the gospel and be astonished that God would use our lives to tell people of Jesus.
Jesus, thanks for Christmas. Thanks for Mary that inspires praise.
