I remember when I was 11 years old, I was playing 6th grade basketball there was 3 seconds left in the game and it was tied. I got fouled and was going to shoot free throws if I made one, we would win the game. I made one out of two which was pretty big for me at 11 years old! I remember being swarmed by my teammates and after the game we all went to Dairy Queen to celebrate, I remember I felt so proud which was appropriate, there’s nothing wrong with being proud of the things we accomplish. But when we experience those moments we need to remember that God is the one who has put us in the position to exceed and remember that God calls us to be humble.
And that’s what Mary does in this verse, she remembers who she is and she praises God for blessing her. Just like Mary when we accomplish good things in our lives we should praise God because he is the one who has given us the ability to accomplish those things.
Activity: Everyone list one thing that they are most proud of, then answer the question, how did God help you accomplish that thing?
