What has God done for you?

“Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare what He has done for me.” What has God done for you? Perhaps you revise the question by adding what He has done for you or done for you lately. Consider the original question as is and its need and possible healing it might bring you. Healing provided immediately or perhaps right now. At this moment if you truly considered the question, ponder it like Mary and seriously take it to question, meditation and prayer. What has God done for you? In answering, please do so plainly and honestly after giving it thoughtful, careful observation, examination and prayer. Not by questioning what God has done for you lately as we sometimes and often do to one another. We even sometimes believe that God must provide continual and additional miracles and signs so we can thank Him or say and believe that God has done something for us.

Certainly, not what seems to be something you took notice of recently or something you mention happened some time ago or something you read in some ancient text or something that was handed down to you by prophetic utterances or ancient bible stories you listen to or heard from family members, religious friends or spiritual foes. Please tell me. I really wish to know. What has God done for you? Declare it, give witness to it like Mary, the handmaid of the Lord who graciously exults that her immaculate heart and soul ever magnifies and proclaims the greatness of the Lord and that her glorious spirit rejoices in God our Savior. Mary sings and speaks of God’s generous penetrating gaze and the delightful favor God has found in her and all humanity. She gladly proclaims and declares that the Almighty God has done great things for her and Holy is His Name. She speaks of His blessing, His mercy, His assistance, His help, His aid towards all generations past, present and to come. Mary boldly speaks of God’s blessing of beatitude. God’s favor toward the poor and hungry and the wise who trust, believe and fear Him. Mary cannot help but continually sing about what God has done for her, for us and the whole world.  So, seriously, what has God done for you lately or ever? We have much to be thankful for.
