MORNING SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 3/14/2026
8:26 AM
My
Worship Time
Focus: “The Object of Worship”
Bible
Reading & Meditation
Reference: Luke 1:46b, 47b
Message of the verses: “the Lord…God my Savior”
You may be able to see that this
morning’s SD is going to be very short.
It has been my practice to break up my Spiritual Diaries by using the
sub-titles from the author that I am following at the time. Sometimes the SD’s will be very long, or very
short, today very short.
Mary’s worship of the Lord centered
primarily on His role as her Savior. Now
the central theme of all believers’ worship must be the reality that God is the
Savior from sin, and judgment, something we all surely need. If that were not so, it would be impossible
to worship Him, as impossible as it is for all who live in eternal torment in
hell. If God were not a saving,
redeeming, forgiving God, people might dread Him and attempt to pacify or
appease Him, but not worship Him.
I believe that Mary knew that the
coming of Messiah would mar the apex of redemptive history. Mary’s Son would “save His people from
their sins” (Matt. 1:21; cf. John 1:29), because the purpose for His coming
was “to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). The thrilling reality that through her
the Messiah would be born into the world prompted Mary to praise and worship
her Redeemer.
(Matt. 1:21; cf. John 1:29)
“21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his
name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’”
“ 29 ¶ The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him,
and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
Spiritual
Meaning for my Life Today: Now as I think about this section
of verses we have been going over lately it causes me to reflect on being a born-again
believer in Jesus Christ, to think about what would have happened if
Christ had not come to planet earth in
order to die on the cross for my sins.
The last part of John 1:29 is such an important part of that verse Jesus
“who takes away the sin of the world.”
My
Steps of Faith for Today: I continue to trust the Lord with what is
going on around the world, knowing that He is in control and will do justly.
