We can tend to take our days for granted, because often, day after day, it’s the same old thing.  Then, once in a while, we have a day that really stands out from the rest.  Christmas can be either one.  When you’re young, it’s an amazing day, full of excitement.  But, after a few dozen Christmases, and especially when you’re footing the bill, it can sometimes slide into being another one of those days.

 

How should we respond to Christmas?  If someone were to come up to you on Christmas and ask, “So, how was your day?”  How will you answer?

 

Mary gives us a great example in Luke 1:46-55.  After being told that she would bear God’s promised Messiah, she breaks forth in praise.  Her example to us suggests 4 things we can do: 1) Praise God for What He Has Done; 2) Praise God for His Power and Mercy; 3) Praise God for His Justice; 4) Praise God for His Faithfulness.

 

We need to pause and praise God for His gift of a Savior.
