Week 1 Wednesday

S- Luke 1:45-50 "Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”  And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.  From now on all generations will call me blessed for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation."

O- Mary gives all glory to God.  Elizabeth is saying that Mary is blessed for believing.  Mary does not boast, but praises God!  Her soul glorifies and her spirit rejoices!  She is saying generations will call her blessed, and follows that with "holy is his name."  She is giving credit to God who has blessed her.

A- Praise God!  Rejoice!  Give all glory to God who all good things come from!  Do not boast!  I am blessed to say that I have great friends who are quick to give glory to God.  What great examples to me!  I want to be quicker to thank God aloud and not just silently in my prayers. 

P- Dear God, thank you again for Mary's humble example.  I pray that I would learn from her and put into action giving you glory.  Please help me to realize that ALL good things come from you!  Please help me to be quick to give thanks to you as you so deserve!  I pray that I would not hold my tongue or keep you a secret.  My happiness comes from you!  Thank you!
