Morning by Morning, December 5 - Expectant Faith for New Possibilities
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I believe in You. You are the Light of the world and the Salvation of all. ...
"And Mary said, 'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked with favor on the lowliness of His servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things fro me, and holy is His name. His mercy is for those who fear Him from generation to generation'" (Luke 1:46-50).
Mary believed You and praised You. "She believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord" (v. 45). Her spirit came alive with expectant faith in You and the new possibilities for her life and her people (vv. 51-55).
She believed You were the Messiah--the Mighty One, the Anointed One--who would do great things. You were the sign of hope for the people of God, promised long ago and now fulfilled: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14 NKJV).
You are Immanuel--God with us (Matthew 1:23). You are the Mighty and Anointed One who forgives our sins, heals our wounds, breaks our chains, and restores our hope. Mary's Child and Son of God, You are our "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"--the Promise of God fulfilled (Isaiah 9:6).
How can we help but magnify the Lord. Just as You came into Mary's womb two thousand years ago, You still come into our hearts to fill our spirits with expectant faith for the new possibilities of life in You every day. You are the God who does great things for us, because You are the God who is always with us (Matthew 28:20). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
