Blessed is she who believed

When Elizabeth greeted her cousin Mary one of the things she said was, "Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord” (Luke 1:45).

When we believe that God means what he says in his word, when we make our choices based on his love, promise to guide us and the eternal significance of our daily lives, we are blessed beyond measure. Peace is ours. Confidence is ours. Hope is ours.

No matter what happens in our earthly lives, we rest in the assurance of God’s love and power and intimate involvement in who we are and what happens to us.
