Are you an Elizabeth?

 

When Zechariah was told by an angel

in the first chapter of Luke

that he and his wife Elizabeth

would have a son,

Zechariah did not believe

because they were both sooo old.

 

The angel said, "Now you will be mute until

the promise will be fulfilled."

When what the angel foretold took place,

Zechariah's tongue was loosened

and he started praising God.

With two more days till Christmas,

we need to be like Zechariah

and spend some quiet time

pondering what God has done 

and is doing for us.

Then, in gratefulness,

like Zechariah, we too

will praise God!

 

 

Mary was found with child

through the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18

No one ever felt like Mary did

after the visit of the angel!

I guess at first, she would think,

"Did it really happen?

Can it happen?

And to me of all people?

I'm just a peasant girl

living in a backwoods place!

Why would I be chosen?"

 

 

But God chooses where and who He wills.

He chooses not because we are smart,

or influential, or strong.

But He chose Mary,

and He chooses you and me!

 

"Blessed are you who believed

that what was spoken to you by the Lord 

would be fulfilled."Luke 1:45

Elizabeth, the wife of Zechariah,

said this to Mary when Mary visited her

to share with her the "good news".

Don't we all need Elizabeths in our life?

Someone to share with,

someone who will support us,

love us in spite of our idiosyncracies

or strange happenings in our life?

Someone who will say,

"Blessed are you!"

 

But even more important,

are we Elizabeths to those who need 

an Elizabeth?
