Blessed are You

We first published this meditation in January, but it bears repeating. Blessings to you!

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her! Luke 1:45

This was part of Elizabeth’s declaration when Mary arrived at her home and as John leapt within her womb. The Spirit revealed to Elizabeth exactly what was happening with Mary. The Spirit also reveals to us that the Lord has wondrous plans for us! We may not know all the details yet…but God is surely moving on our behalf.

What promise has the Lord made to you? We know He promises never to leave us or forsake us. We know He will supply all of our needs. We know He is the one who saves us from the power of sin and death. And He declares, explicitly, that He has great plans for us! (see Jeremiah 29:11) But, what else? Has He given you a vision for a business…a ministry…a unique invention? Has the Lord spoken to you about your children and how He will care for them? Have you heard a promise from Him regarding your health? Are you waiting to see it come to pass?

A couple of days ago [actually back on January 3] we talked about labor pains being the indicator that something is getting ready to be birthed. Well, Mary, at this point, is not in labor…she has no proof except for a promise from God. And Elizabeth prophetically declares that she is blessed because of her belief in the word of the Lord. Is God’s promise “proof” enough for you that what He promised will come to pass?

Blessed are you, precious one, as you also believe that the Lord will fulfill His promises to you.
