The third week advent is here! We talk about joy today, a deep lasting joy. We talk about how joy is a lasting emotion that comes from trusting God. Mary has this joy in her words in Luke 1:46-55- Mary Praises God. Here are some of the things we went through, that we learn from Mary Praises God.

- Mary Praises God first- we need to Praise Him first. We learn in James 5:13, to sing song of praises and if we are struggling pray!

- We learn in Luke 1:49 Holy is His name. We need to know God's amazingness and that there is no one like him.

- We learn He shows mercy to everyone who honors Him. We need to know His mercy and love!

- He has shown strength with His arm- we need to know His power.

- He has filled the hungry with good things- He provides for us! And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus- Philippians 4:19

- Luke 1:54- He has come to the aid of Israel. He sees us, and is faithful. What a gift and deep joy that He is our God!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never comes to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness- Lamenations 3:22-23

I hope this reminder of Mary's amazing words brings you joy- this season and all year!
