Song of Mary

Meditation of Mary's song

The song "Mary did you know", when i first heard it, i was thinking why the song writer is asking so many questions to Mary.
like Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water.
Mary did you know that your baby boy heal the blind.

Yes it is a song praise in the form of a question.
But after listening to this song again and again, i wanted to know what Mary knows.So I said let me look in scripture abut what Mary knows.
Then i found this song.

You should know a teenage girl about 15 to 16 years age.
The Romans Catholics idolise mary and evangelical christians neglect how God used Mary.
But one thing we should know is God has chosen Mary.
out of all the young women who were there in the land of israel, when God wanted to send His only Son Jesus Christ, He chose Mary.

The only thing that she knew about the baby is what angel Gabriel told her.
V 31 "you shall name Him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; 33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."

And this song that she sings when she met her relative Elizabeth.
In this song you will really know what Mary knows about her God.

V 48. Man is body soul and spirit being.

Mary says, Her Spirit rejoices in God my savior.
and Her Soul exalts/magnifies God.

Lets take an example, suppose you take joy in the way certain sportsperson play.
If you take joy in the way that he plays, then in your every talk you will exalt that person, you will talk good about that person, you will elevate. you try to wear his printed t shirts.

what Mary says is in my Spirit, I rejoice in my Savior. and so my Soul exalts my Lord.

how many 15 year old teenage girl can say these words. only a girl who is deeply in love with God can say these words.


V 48. She realized that God has regarded the humble state of His bondslave.

we seen that all apostles considered themselves as bond slaves of Jesus Christ.
that is after they were filled with Holy Spirit.
When angel brought her the Word, despite her questions she said, Let it be done according to your word.
But here is teenage girl who considers herself as bond slave. today when most of the teenagers are bondlaves of gadgets, fashions, here is a girl who who can say Lord I am your bondslave and you looked at my humble state.

You may ask Mary did you know your baby boy will one day walk on water.
She will say i know my Gods Name is Holy.

If you ask Mary did you know that your baby boy will heal the sick.
She will say i know my God has done great things. No wonder He will do all these things that you are asking. that is her faith.

Verse 52.
One thing Mary realized is that God resist the proud, but exalts the humble.

Verse 53 is a crucial verse.
He sent away the rich who thought they have everything, but He filled the hungry with Good things.
When rich is mentioned, you can say wherever you don't seek God you can consider that as richness.
because the biggest sin a man can do is not depending on God. and one who is rich and does not need God they will be sent away empty handed.

But one who is hungry for God will be rewarded. Mary as a teenager was hungry for God. and what other good can come to her, that the womb of this girl is chosen as an entry point for the savior to come into this world.

She is so hungry for God. God blessed her with Savior. He did not bless her with all the richness of the world. How do you know? even after the birth of savior, she is still poor and when she took Lord Jesus for dedication Luke 2: 22- 24, they brought turtle doves.

what Mary knows is God is God who keeps His Promises. She knows all the promises are Yes and Amen.


Chruch, this song is not to say great things about Mary, but taken this so that Church will be encouraged through the life of Mary.
