Luke 1:39-80
There
are two great ‘songs of praise’ here (46-55,67-79). God was doing ‘a
new thing’. His people were rejoicing in Him. Great things were
happening. Greater things were going to happen. Soon, the Saviour would
be born. The birth of John the Baptist (57-66) - This was great. The
birth of our Saviour - This would be even greater. Mary and Zechariah
felt the touch of God upon their lives, and their hearts were filled
with praise to God: ‘When I feel the touch of Your hand upon my life, it
causes me to sing a song that I love You, Lord. So from deep within my
spirit singeth unto Thee, You are my King, You are my God, and I love
You Lord’(Mission Praise, 753). John was ‘in the wilderness’. He ‘became
strong in spirit’(80). May God help us to grow spiritually, even when
life is not very easy!
