The SUMMARY: True praise and worship happens when one encounters the Lord first and the worship is a consequence of the overflowing thankful heart. Mary's praise and songs of praise were deep and very biblical and beautiful because she encountered God through his word and promise through Gabriel the angel and was confirmed through her relative Elizabeth. There are three canticles or songs of praise in Christmas that Biblical people offered it to our Almighty God. The first is the song by Mary, the second is by Zachariah, and the third by Simeon. They teach us very valuable lessons. For Mary, she said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, my spirit glorifies God my Saviour.... the Mighty One has Done great things for me."
Do learn this precious lesson with Pastor Peter from Luke 1:46-56 - the Magnificat.
