Living Worship

And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, 

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior..."

Luke 1:46

NIV

Read Luke 1:26-38

Mary...
Talk about a life lived as worship!
Through obedience and trust, she gave birth to God's glory...

She risked everything to say Yes to God...
marriage...
family...
friends...
reputation...
life...

To say Yes to God meant she became an unwed mother... in a culture and tradition that called for the stoning of such women...

To say Yes to God meant complete trust for provision... and protection...

To say Yes to God meant personal heartache... watching her sinless Son... die a shame-full death... crucified... helpless to save... or comfort...

To say Yes to God meant grace and glory... wonder and salvation...

A soul that lives a life of worship magnifies God in all they do. Bearing and revealing His glory, through trusting obedience... and living sacrifice...

And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord;

let it be to me according to your word."

Luke 1:36

ESV

Can you take Mary's words as your own...can you say Yes to God?

Father God, let it be to me according to Your Word...
