Climbing Higher~ 3rd week of Advent

2 Sam. 7:1-11, 16: Prophecy to David that God would establish his house & line. 

Luke 1:47-55: Mary's song of praise to God. 

or Ps. 89:1-4,19-26: God's covenant with David & his throne.

Rom. 16:25-27:The mystery of Christ reveled.

Luke 1:26-38:Angel of God came to Mary to get her permission to have her be the Mother of Jesus.


God made a promise to King David that he would establish his house & line to include the Messiah (2 Sam. 7:1-11,16; Ps. 89:1-4,19-26). When the time was right for God to fulfill his promise to King David, he choice a young lady to be his son's Mother. then he sent an angel to go and get permission from her (Luke 1:26-27). After wards Mary went to see a cousin who was pregnant with John the Baptist. When her cousin Elisabeth saw her she spoke encouraging words to her about being the Mother of the son of God. Mary felt free to sing a song of praise to God and all that was in her heart (Luke 47-55). Because of men like Paul, we now now the mystery of Jesus & can be saved (Rom. 16:25-27).

Challenge of the week:
As the mystery of Christmas and Christ coming to the world is reveled to us this week. Let us be like Mary and lift our voices in praise to God for his great gift of Jesus & salvation through him. 

Accomplishment of the week:
So how did singing praises help bring you closer to God? How has it brought more meaning to Christmas for you?
