CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL Friday, December 12, 2014 Expectation And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” Luke 1:46-55 THINK: This is Mary’s Song after hearing of the blessing from Elizabeth. This song is also called the Magnificat from the Latin word meaning “to magnify.” REFLECT: *What stands out to you from these verses? *In what ways do you declare the “mighty deeds” of God to all people? *What does Mary’s song teach us about Christmas? SUBMIT: As a family, write down all of the wonderful things God has done and then write down all of the things he has promised that he will do. Put them all over the house on post-its to be reminded of these things that are important. BONUS: Watch, “Magnificat” performed by the Zoe Group.
