/*He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who 
are proud in their inmost thoughts. -- Luke 1:51*/

An unbeliever would scoff at Mary's song. The boot of the Roman empire 
was on the neck of the Jewish nation. Mighty deeds were measured in 
columns of marching Roman soldiers. The great miracles of deliverance 
for Israel were history -- ancient history it seemed. The people of 
Israel lived and died under the watchful eye of the Roman state.

But God gives a great gift to His children. He enables us to see what 
others cannot see. The unbeliever may look at our lives and see 
financial calamity, terminal illness, pain of every kind, addiction, 
hypocrisy and failure. But we look up and see the Shepherd bringing us 
to quiet waters. We see the Father opening His arms to us. We see our 
Defender demolishing the schemes of the enemy. We see our Savior holding 
our hands in His own, looking us in the eye and telling us that we 
belong to Him.

We look up and see the truth.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
