1. The Song of Mary
46 And Mary said:
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my
Savior.
48 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.
50 And His mercy is on those who fear
Him
From generation to generation.

3. Hannah’s Prayer
2 And Hannah prayed and said:
“My heart rejoices in the LORD;
My horn[a] is exalted in the LORD.
I smile at my enemies,
Because I rejoice in Your salvation.
2 “No one is holy like the LORD,
For there is none besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God.
3 “Talk no more so very proudly;
Let no arrogance come from your
mouth,
For the LORD is the God of knowledge;
And by Him actions are weighed.
4 “The
bows of the mighty men are
broken,
And those who stumbled are girded with
strength.
5 Those who were full have hired
themselves out for bread,
And the hungry have ceased to hunger.
Even the barren has borne seven,
And she who has many children has
become feeble. 6 “The LORD kills and
makes alive; He brings down to the
grave and brings up.
7 The LORD makes poor and makes rich;
He brings low and lifts up.

4. 8 He
raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,
To set them among princes
And make them inherit the throne of glory. “For the pillars
of the earth are the LORD’s, And He has set the world
upon them.
9 He will guard the feet of His saints,
But the wicked shall be silent in darkness. “For by
strength no man shall prevail.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken in pieces;
From heaven He will thunder against them.
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. “He will give
strength to His king,
And exalt the horn of His anointed.”

Isaiah 53:2

Micah 7:20
Galatians 3:16
2. Shouldn’t we all have this kind of song
in our heart for the many wonderful things
that God has done for us?
51 He
has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the
imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their
thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His servant Israel,
In remembrance of His mercy,
55 As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”
56 And Mary remained with her about three
months, (or until John was born) and
returned to her house

6. 3. God chooses the humble to do His
work. In order to be used by God we
need to live in meekness and
obedience.
