Praise the lord for mercy and grace. Today’s meal is going to take you to a place of love and worship. It comes from Mary’s visit with Elisabeth. Get lost in it for a while!

Today’s Prayer

Dear Lord Jesus, let us join in the chorus, “Oh come, Oh come, Emmanuel” and really mean it. Let us sing, “Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord,” and at the same time prepare our hearts for You. Let us seek Your forgiveness, as we also forgive others. Let “Joy to the World” be our song throughout this Advent Season … that others may know that we are Christians by our love. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.

Let’s eat.

The Magnificat: Mary’s Song of Praise

Luke 1:46-56

46 Mary responded, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord.

47 How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!

48 For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed.

49 For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me.

50 He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him.

51 His mighty arm has done tremendous things! He has scattered the proud and haughty ones.

52 He has brought down princes from their thrones and exalted the humble.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away with empty hands.

54 He has helped his servant Israel and remembered to be merciful.

55 For he made this promise to our ancestors, to Abraham and his children forever.”

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back to her own home.

Quote of the Day

Take heed of driving so hard after this world, as to hinder thyself and family from those duties towards God, which thou art by grace obliged to; as private prayer, reading the scriptures, and Christian conference. It is a base thing for men so to spend themselves and families after this world, as that they disengage their heart to God’s worship. ~John Bunyan~
