God is the Savior of any who humbly trust Him, realizing that there is no help without His divine intervention.

Weekly Devo for Sunday 011721. A study of Psalm 40 with a focus on the prayer for being lifted up from down in the pit. Our witness and celebration begins when God lifts us up.

When you know who God is, and you know all He’s done for you, then you’re going to praise Him. You’ll make much of Him. So, do we make much of God? Do we point others to God? Do we encourage others’ faith in God? Do we speak timely words about God’s work? Do we notice God’s work in our midst? Do we make haste to be part of His work? Do we join God in what He’s doing? Do we hear His word? Do we obey His word? Do we praise God? From the depths of our being, do we magnify Him?

Psalm 71 (ESV) 1 In you, O Lord , do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! 2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me! 3 Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.…

During the holiday season, we can get caught up in the lights, presents, gifts... even the songs of the season. We need to remember the song of Mary and exalt the Lord rejoicing in God our savior because he has seen our humble state and had mercy on us by sending His son.

John the Baptist reminds us not to seek our own glory but to give all glory to Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God, Saviour of sinners so my joy is found in exalting Him.

Fear and joy don't mingle, The joy of the Lord is my strength

Mary's courage to sing at this an inspiration to us all. Can you sing in the middle of the messiness of life?

Last week in Matthew 1 we considered the unexpected nature of God’s eternal and wise plan to save us. Having looked at Joseph’s response to the angel’s news of Immanuel’s coming, we turn to Luke 1 this week to consider Mary’s reception of the same news. Her “Magnificat” serves us as a model of rightly placed joy and rejoicing during the Christmas Season and throughout the rest of the year.

There was a godly Christian woman who startled her friends by saying, “There isn’t a sin of which I am not capable. I could be a prostitute; I could murder; I could embezzle.” Most of her friends were not impressed with her frankness. Instead they thought that she was displaying a false humility. Then…
