Worshipping instead of worrying
Unmarried. Poor. Young. Pregnant with God.
Mary has a lot to worry about.
Rather than worrying, however, we find her worshipping in Luke 1:46–55. Mary belts out a beautiful, spontaneous, anointed, worshipful song in response to God’s goodness and long-awaited provision. Worship encompasses all of life, but it most assuredly includes singing. Mary sings, “My soul magnifies the Lord.”
What she’s saying is that deep down, from a heart made new by the grace of God, she wants to worship the Lord. Her life may be uncertain, but she wants God to be honored and glorified because he is good even when times are hard. Her spirit and the Holy Spirit intersect to honor Jesus—the son in her womb—that God the Father might get praise.
Her song continues and we see more of Mary’s heart. Like all of us, she is an image-bearer of God, made to mirror God. She reflects him beautifully in her song, which highlights the love, truth, compassion, justice, selflessness, and humility of God.
Mary is a theologically astute teenage worshipper. Her lyrics are saturated with biblical language drawn from 1 and 2 Samuel, Deuteronomy, Job, the Psalms, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Micah, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah—all of this despite the fact that it would have been very unusual for a woman of her age and upbringing to be formally educated. Perhaps she heard the Scriptures read to her in synagogue each Sabbath and committed them to memory. In any case, she has chosen to live her life top-down: She trusts the Scriptures, she understands who God is, and she lives her life in light of that reality in the most difficult of circumstances.
What worries or stresses does your mind drift toward throughout the day? How can you worship God and fight for joy in these moments?
