THE SONG OF THE SOUL
Luke 1:46-55
WHAT IS THE SONG OF
YOUR SOUL?
MARY’S AWE OF GOD’S GREATNESS
AND COMPASSION
46 And
Mary said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
FROM MARY’S SONG:
God is:
Mary is:
• Lord
• Humbled
• Savior
• Redeemed
• Mighty
• Purposed
• Holy
• Blessed
• Compassionate
MARY’S WONDER OF
GOD’S POWER AND MERCY
50 And
his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
FROM MARY’S SONG:
God is:
Mary is:
• Merciful
• Encouraged
• Faithful
• Thankful
• Strong
• Hopeful
• Just
MARY’S HOPE OF
GOD’S PROMISE
54 He
has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
55 as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM
GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM
11 But
the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said,
“Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 12 He said, "Do not
lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that
you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only
son, from me.”13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and
behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns.
And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt
offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called the name of that
place, “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On
the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”
GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM
15 And
the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from
heaven16 and said,“By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD,
because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your
only son, 17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply
your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on
the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his
enemies, 18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth
be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
FROM MARY’S SONG:
God is:
• Faithful
• Loving
Mary is:
• Hopeful
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH
13 For
the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he
would be heir of the world did not come through the
law but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:13
THE KEY INGREDIENTS FOR THE SOUL:
FAITH, HOPE, LOVE
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But
the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
