Introduction
Luke 1:46-55
Living the Attitude of Praise
Mary points to the attitude of her soul and spirit.
Mary is, within the core of psyche making God big!
This word for “soul” here is where we get our word psyche from.
Exultation to the Lord is a choice.
Her spirit is filled with exuberance of who God is.
The “why” of her jubilance:
l
She knew who she was compared to the task God had for her, she was nothing.
But because God was going to work through this, she was to be blessed of Him.
Hannah says the same thing in her prayer in
1 Sam.
2:
Identity is so vital, but when we find our identity in the singleness of a task we cease to identify as God’s own, but rather we belong to our task.
It then has become our God.
Her blessed title came from God’s mighty work and His Holy name
This is also a repeat from Hannah’s prayer
lk 1:
She references herself 5 times in this whole passage
She references God and His work 17 times in this passage.
It is clear on what person she placed the most importance.
There are so many Christians who will sing the I, Me, Me, Me, I song but not sing the Hallelujah Song!
Loving God’s Greatness
God’s mercy is hinged up on a respect for Him. . .
lifting Him up and not myself.
By His Strength. . .
lk. 1:5
Scattered the proud.
Put down (defeated) the ones we could not.
Exalted all of us who do not deserve it.
Fed the hungry and taken away from the wealthy.
Leaning of His Promises
He has helped Israel
-in the past
-in the present w/ the Messiah
-in the future through His deliverance
He spoke to our fathers
Conclusion
No one ever did antying for God without living with an attitude of praise, loving God’s greatness and leaning on His promises.
I must find my identity in Christ alone, not in a single ministry, a job or a look.
I want to be used of God! Do you?
Do you want this church to be used of God?
We must live for God’s glory by living with an attitude of praise, loving God’s greatness more than my own and leaning on His promises.
