Mary is not the only person who writes a song in Luke. Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, does so as well. One portion of his song describes two game-changers we get in God - gift giving and guidance.
God's heart is full of gift-giving and guidance that can fill you forever. He won't force them on you. Many respond with a resounding "NO." Others, hands and heart open, receive with gratitude. The former continue in emptiness while the latter walk in contentment.
According to my count, Zechariah's song (Luke 1:76-79) describes five gifts we get in God: A Prophet, Salvation, Forgiveness, Mercy, and Jesus. On any given day I need all five. God's gifts are not for a designated day of the year. He gives freely year round and from generation to generation. He is the Ultimate Gift-Giver.
Tonight at 6pm at Celebration we will be worshipping the God who is full of gifts and guidance. He has something special in store for us. I personally invite you to join us. Bring a friend. Bring your heart ready to receive gifts and guidance from the God who is with us.
He wants to shine light into your darkness and place your feet on a path of peace. Come and see.
Ex nihilo,
R.J. Rhoden
