Free & Fit Eastertide - Mary & The Magnificat! - Why Jesus is Real - Mother’s Day!



Today’s Word is Mary!

Today’s Movement is Stretch & Pray for 44!

Today’s Verses are for Mother’s Day!


Verse of the Day Luke 1:55:


And Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months, and then returned to her home.


Collect for the Day


Almighty God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves; Keep us both outwardly in our bodies, and inwardly in our souls; that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord.


Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all them that are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.


Prayer of Abandonment


Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will.

Whatever you may do, I thank you:

I am ready for all, I accept all.

Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures.

I wish no more than this, O Lord.

Into  your hands I commend my soul;

I offer it to you

with all the love of my heart,

for I love you, Lord,

and so need to give myself,

to surrender myself into your hands,

without reserve,

and with boundless confidence,

for you are my Father.

In Jesus name, Amen.


Scripture for Today: The Magnificat . Luke 1: 46-55


“And Mary said, “My soul magnifies and exalts the Lord,


And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.


For He has looked [with loving care] on the humble state of His maidservant;


For behold, from now on all generations will count me blessed and happy and favored by God!


For He who is mighty has done great things for me;


And holy is His name [to be worshiped in His purity, majesty, and glory].


And His mercy is upon generation after generation Toward those who [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him.


He has done mighty deeds with His [powerful] arm;


He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.


He has brought down rulers from their thrones, And exalted those who were humble.


He has filled the hungry with good things;


And sent the rich away empty-handed.


He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy,


Just as He promised to our fathers, To Abraham and to his descendants forever.”


And Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months, and then returned to her home.”


‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:46-56‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Reflection:


Do you understand your worth to the Father of Heaven? Who made you, who loves you and knows you? Just like Mary, I myself, have doubts about my self worth, where I am going and what I am doing. Yet our God of Heaven is absolutely certain about our true worth, our true identity and what he really knows about us. Our God loves us abundantly more than we can hope or imagine, he knew us before he knit us together in our Mothers womb and loved us first before anyone set their human eyes on us. To understand this fully we have to understand that God gave up everything he had, his one and only son and sent him to heaven to die for us so we could be saved from ourselves, from sin and death and from all harm, pain and judgement of this world. Today, know that God loves you!


Mary was struggling with disbelief when she first met the Angel Gabriel and had to be comforted with those famous words of Angels in the Bible “Do not be Afraid”. Likewise, Jesus greeted his Disciples with a similar greeting and sought to comfort his Disciples when he appeared to them after his Death and Resurrection. He said to them “Peace be with You!” So today we do not need to be afraid and we can be assured that Gods Peace is with us no matter how far we have fallen and feel far away from our Father in heaven.


Here is today’s scripture Mary rejoices in the knowledge that she was chosen, as a daughter of God to give birth to the Messiah and Son of God. Mary rejoices in the evident work of the Holy Spirit present in her life and give thanks to God for all generations. Mary cries out “And His mercy is upon generation after generation, Toward those who [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him.” Today, if we are to be in fear, its in awe, reverence and respect of God. Not because he punishes us, punishment is to do with earthly and sinful fear, but because God loves us and his love is perfect which casts out all other fears. For God did not give us a Spirit of fear or cowardice, but of Power, Love and Self Discipline in Jesus name. Amen


Let us Pray…


Father please forgive us because we know we have sinned against you. We seek peace and patience through the daily trials of everyday life so we can not be afraid and desire your Peace which surpasses all understanding. Please Lord take away our heavy burdens, grant us your grace and bring peace into every area of our lives. We love you, we seek you and we need your right now in Jesus name. Amen


For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]. [Is 40:13]”


‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬ ‭AMP‬‬
