Text for the Day -- Luke 1:39-45
----------
In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in
the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and
greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child
leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and
exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed
is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the
mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of
your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is
she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken
to her by the Lord."
Devotional
----------
There are many special births recorded in the Bible. Elizabeth, a
relative of Mary, has conceived in her old age. John the Baptist lies
in her womb. Mary, her womb filling with the baby Jesus, visits her
Elizabeth. Two cousins, John and Jesus, share a remarkable conception
for a special, divine purpose. No wonder John leapt in the womb when
Jesus visits with Mary.
Prayer
-----------------
I marvel at your wonderful ways, O God. Amen
