Tuesday 26 February
Read Luke 1:39–66
Think
When Mary went to visit Elizabeth, Elizabeth was filled with
the Holy Spirit and confirmed the good news of Jesus’ impending birth through
Mary. In response Mary sang:
“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my
savior for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant.”
In her song Mary celebrates how God lifts up the lowly and
brings down the proud.
Pray
In praying for yourself ask that God would help you to see
where you need to be ‘brought down’ and where you need to be ‘lifted up’.
In praying for others, think about people you know who are
oppressed at this time; pray that God’s Kingdom would come into those
situations and set things straight.
Pray that our church would be a kingdom bringing community.
