Scripture: Luke 1:39-56
Journal: What is your life magnifying these days? Who are you making great? What would it look like to make God great in your life and work and ministry? How will you magnify him today?
Reflection: Mary got it. She just got it. She understood that, as hard as it probably was to remember sometimes, this life was not about her, but about God. You can see it in her response to the angel. You get a deep sense of it as you consider the full implications of exactly what the angel was telling her. And you definitely see it—and hear it—in her prayer.
“My soul magnifies the
Lord. My soul makes him great, enlarges
him, draws all of the attention to him.”
That is what the human soul was created to do. The sole purpose of our lives is to make God
great, to magnify him, to enlarge him, to continually proclaim and reveal his
greatness. Everything else is merely
distraction.
How will you magnify him
today?
Prayer
Closing
Prayer: Thank you, O God, that during this season we
celebrate your coming into the world through Mary. And now it is our turn to be the means
through which you enter the world again and again. Help us to magnify you. Amen.
