Mary's Song

Being a recent born again Christian, there are many parts of the Bible that I am reading for the first time. Today our church sermon was about the Virgin Mary's song...which are her words (song) after being foretold by the angel about Jesus. Luke 1:46-55

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. He has
performed mighty deeds with his
arm;
he has scattered those who are
proud
in
their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from
their thrones
but has lifted up the
humble. He has
filled the hungry with good things but
has
sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful to
Abraham and his descendants forever, even as
he said to our
fathers."

Even Mary considered herself a sinner...the very one who God chose to give birth to the Son of God! He lifts the humble...what an awesome God! Today it was revealed to me that lately I have been trying too hard to be 'of the world'....that I have gone astray....that I have not been humble. Thank God that He takes us back no matter what.

Also during church today the baby was kicking away. This is probably the most movement I've felt at one time. As Pastor Rod was reading through more of the story: "As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy" (Luke 1:44), I too felt that our baby leaped for joy!...almost as if he/she was saying 'Amen'!
