Easter 2016 reflections: I rejoice in God my Savior

Easter 2016 reflections: I rejoice in God my Savior by ric Gustafson


Today's bible reading is Luke 1: 46-49. Mary was a teenager, poor, Jewish and a female. She was disrespected and marginalized. She was also unmarried and pregnant. Nobody would believe that she was a virgin and impregnated by the Holy Spirit.
In today's reading, Mary does a prayer of praise. Mary praises God with everything inside her. She trusts God completely. God told her why he had chosen her. She agreed. Like Mary, I hope that I will trust God completely and be obedient even in dark times.
