Luke 1:51, 52, 53 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Mary’s Magnificat Song is a prime example of the Great Reversal theme that runs through the Bible. Things will not always remain as they are now; we can be sure they will change and be reversed. “The proud will be humbled, and the humble will be exalted.” That’s the promise. Mary praises God for what He promises to do through her son.
The proud, the mighty, and the rich in this age will all be brought down, some even in this age, but all certainly in the next. Those of low degree in this age will be exalted, and the hungry will be filled with good things. The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus illustrates the great reversal.
Things will turn around, and all thing will be put to rights in the end. Meanwhile, we wait with confident trust and patient hope for God’s time and way. We are willing to be humbled, weak, and lowly while trusting the Promise.
