Luke Chapter one: The faith of Mary

"He who is mighty has done great things for me and holy is His name".

From the natural perspective how is being endangered as a pregnant virgin a good thing for mary or even a great thing? how about expenses of child raising and the realities of poverty?

No, not withstanding these and in the face of these challenges she regarded the promise of God that there would be born through her, a saviour - greater honor. the promise of salvation through the son of God by the power of the holy spirit where all things become possible greater treasure.

When we keep our mind on God the savior everything makes sense. we are able to take the challenges that come. we are able to overcome the realities of life that face us.

She kept her mind on what was mighty and miraculous. She kept in her heart, the things that the angel said. Pondering over and turning over and over those precious words spoken by God's two prophets at the synagogue, that God had done an awesome thing for her, caused her to conceive when she was a virgin. she kept her mind on His mighty power and His action and intimate.involvement in her life.

"He who is mighty has done great things for me and holy is His name"

She also came to realize something of Gods holy nature in experiencing the miraculous conception of Jesus. when we exprrice the supernatural, we touch a dimention of Gods holiness. His otherness How different He is from us.

"His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation"

She admitted her faith freely that divine love and mercy would follow her and her generations after her forever because of this one miracle stemming from her faith that was in God.
