On today's episode of the Iron Saints Podcast, we cotinue our journey through the Gospel of Luke. In previous devotionals we broke down Zechariah's doubts of blessing long awaited as well as Mary's servant attitude towards an impossible calling from God. We open today with the story of Mary and Elizabeth bringing John and Jesus together for the first time and Mary's response to the Lord on his blessings.

As always I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the reading and as well should you have any prayer requests you would like me to lift up on the podcast don't hesitate to reach out to any of the social media or email below.

Luke 1:39-56 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” 

46 And Mary said, 

                  “My soul magnifies the Lord, 
            47       and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 
            48       for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. 
      For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 
            49       for he who is mighty has done great things for me, 
      and holy is his name. 
            50       And his mercy is for those who fear him 
      from generation to generation. 
            51       He has shown strength with his arm; 
      he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; 
            52       he has brought down the mighty from their thrones 
      and exalted those of humble estate; 
            53       he has filled the hungry with good things, 
      and the rich he has sent away empty. 
            54       He has helped his servant Israel, 
      in remembrance of his mercy, 
            55       as he spoke to our fathers, 
      to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” 

56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.
