Mary clung through all this confusion to the promise of God, holding tightly to the angel's words: "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28). And despite Mary's confused and emotionally troubled reaction in verse 29, from the depths of her being we also hear the harmonious sounds of hope and faith:

"My soul glorifies the Lord

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has been mindful

of the humble state of his servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed,

for the Mighty One has done great things for

me—

holy is his name." (Luke 1:46-49)

It didn't matter what anyone else in the community would think or say about her condition. Mary hung onto the promise of God, and responded with a song of daring, boundless faith. Her focus was not on her emotional state or on her challenging situation but on the scandalous love of God, who promised her a future of hope: "My soul glorifies the Lord!"
