Luke 1:39-45
Luke 1:43 (HCSB) How could this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Elizabeth recognized (by the Holy Spirit who fills her) that Mary’s baby is the Christ! It was (and is among Jewish women today) the desire of every Jewess to be the mother of the Messiah. Elizabeth knew that her pregnancy was of God, but she also discovered the glorious nature of her cousin Mary’s child. She, unlike Zechariah, immediately responded in faith.
One of the roles that Elizabeth had was a confidant – a mentor - for Mary. Mary had a very unique story and not everyone could relate. Elizabeth could relate to Mary. The child Elizabeth carried had its own miraculous angelic story. God used Elizabeth to confirm what Mary already knew.
Do you have someone in your life that is an encourager? A mentor?
If not, find a person God wants you to connect with. Build godly relationships that will confirm in you God’s plans for you!
Pray: God, help me to find others who can help me grow closer to You. Amen.
