On the 6th Day of Christmas

On the 6th Day of Christmas –

We shall respond with Praise!

Luke 1:46-50 “Mary responded,“ Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed. For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me. He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him.”

Mary praised the Lord before she fully knew the outcome of this blessed pregnancy. She praised Him because His Sovereignty, she praised Him because she trusted Him, and she praised Him as an act of Worship.

Some circumstances may seem easier for us to hide and ask Why Lord, but He wants for us to respond to each one of these with Praise.

Psalm 145:1-3 “I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever. I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.”

We will praise Him for all He does and for His great love for us. But this takes laying down our ways, giving ourselves fully to Him, and saying through our actions, He is truly Worthy to be Praised.

When the storm clouds seem to be circling around you and the rain starts coming down, Praise His Holy Name. For the storm brings the rain, and the rain waters the fields making the harvest grow. The same goes for the storms in your life, they can bring the rain on you and make your Faith grow, bearing more fruit for Him.

Respond with Praise!
