Mary's Christmas Song is about praising God because of what he has done for her. This song is a celebration of God and his ways. God humbles the strong and magnifies his strength by exalting the weak.
God is magnified in us not through human pride and confidence, nor through human wealth and strength, but through the humble heart that rejoices in.
Father, you humble the proud and exalt the humble, and we stand in awe. We recognize that the way we feel fragile, exhausted, and burdened this Advent may mean we are right where you want us. You sent your Son to help the weak and weary. Open our eyes to the weaknesses we try to ignore and cover over. In your Son, we are safe to own them and come humbly to you, to rejoice in you and your strong arms, not ours. Magnify yourself in us this season through our rejoicing in you and your Son. In his name, we pray. Amen.
