Luke 1.39-56
Mary had an experience that was unusual. An angel showed up and told her that she would have a baby, the baby would be great, and would be a king whose kingdom would never end. She clearly understood this to be the announcement of the long awaited messiah, and she was blown away by the honor and majesty of it all. Her heart was full of worship.
Her praise to God in response to this is called the Magnificat. In it we can find four hints for making worship what it should be for us:
1. It is important to see God's big size in comparison to our small size. (Our humble state)
2. It is important that we enlarge God (glorify-megalune) and keep Him proper sized in our minds.
3. It is important that we regularly recount who God is. (Lord, Savior, Mighty One, Holy One)
4. It is important to regularly recount what God has done for us.
