After the angel Gabriel’s incredible announcement, Mary hurriedly went to visit her relative Elizabeth. Like a child on Christmas morning, Mary discovered all of the wonderful gifts God had bestowed upon her. She was truly blessed among women. Mary then poured out that blessing in a hymn of praise. Mary’s song reveals a profound and sometimes perplexing truth, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Mary was blessed because she was a willing vessel for God to magnify his greatness. God uses weak, lowly, overlooked people so that He might receive more praise.
