Mary had experienced
the goodness of God and expressed it through
the song that she sang. The first two verses of the
song are presented in the same way but with different
emphasis.

In verse one, she talks about her soul, while in verse two,
she talks about her spirit. Through these two components
that constitute the human being, she is pointing out that
her whole being is involved in the action that she is talking
about. Her whole being magnifies and rejoices. She is
caught up in praise to God. Her whole being celebrates
God. The first part of verse one suggests that the
celebration is directed to the Lord. He is the master and
the one in charge of all things. But in verse 2, she
recognizes God as her savior.

This helps us to understand
that Mary is also a sinner in need of salvation. Calling God
her savior, she is celebrating Him for His saving acts. God
is the one who is in charge of your life and the one who has
saved you and is saving you daily. Celebrate and rejoice in
Him. Find satisfaction in serving God. True satisfaction is
found only in God, who is sovereign, mighty, and merciful.
