The Mighty One Has Done Great Things
God is the highest of all. There is nothing above him and nothing at all that will change his words or promises. He is also the God who sees the broken and comforts those in need. In Jesus, we see a character who is gentle and humble in heart and willing to help those who are stooped down and broken.
Matthew 11:29 says, ‘Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.’
Today I’m talking to those who are yearning for a change in their lives. He wants to intervene in human affairs. And many people don’t give the room or space for God to move in your life. And if you give him the opportunity to work in your life, he definitely will.
In Luke chapter 1, if you closely study, you will see that two people are singing. The first person is Jesus’s mother, Mary and the second is Zechariah the priest. The reason for the two to sing is because God started performing in their lives. Now believe that a song is entering your life and God is going to give you a new song soon!
Now, if you look at the Bible, you can divide it broadly into prose and poem. You can see that in several places starting with Genesis chapter 1, God narrates in a poetic way, so does Adam and many others.
What is the difference between prose and poem? When God speaks through prose, he is revealing his mind and when God speaks through poems he is expressing his emotions, feelings and heart.
God speaks in a poem in the following verse when He creates man and woman,
Genesis 1:27 says, ‘So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them’
In a different portion, Adam sings,
Genesis 2:23 says, ‘The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
Wherever in the Bible it is expressed in a poetic version, know that, the narrator is trying to express his heart, feelings and emotions.
In Luke 1:46-55, Mary is singing unto the Lord in a beautiful way:
‘ 46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. 50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. 51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. 52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”
Mary’s deliverance came when she humbled herself. Jesus who was God stooped down and humbled Himself and as He did that, God raised Him to the highest level, by His side (Philippians chapter 2).
Those who humble themselves before God, He will raise them to His side. As we bow down and humble ourselves before Him, He sees that, acknowledges it and promises to raise us.
2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him. You have done foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars.”
God scanned the earth and found in Mary, a humility that made God do a unique and mighty miracle in her life.
If you fear the Lord, the blessings will pour over from one generation to another. If you are boastful and prideful, that is the beginning of your downfall. He is a God who raises the poor and unworthy to the throne and the wicked and the highest officials to their downfall.
