God’s mercy and faithfulness even extend to showing His people what He is doing and including them in that work. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and recognized immediately that Mary bore the promised Messiah. Mary also recognized the coming fulfilment of God’s promises to Israel. God not only keeps His promises, but He allows His people to share in His plans. In this way, they are able to see and experience His goodness, mercy, and faithfulness leading to a desire to praise and glorify the Lord as Mary did in her prayer known as “The Magnificat.”
