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

Pregnant, well-aged Elizabeth said this to pregnant, unwed Mary. Two unexpected pregnancies. Two God-planned miracles. 

What does this mean for you and me? I am not an elderly, infertile woman who is expecting her first child. You are not a pregnant virgin. 

God has made promises to us. He has made promises to YOU. They were not conveyed by an angel named Gabriel. They were recorded within the pages of the Bible. Many promises that He made to people within those pages He also makes to you. 

“Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” John 7:38

“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. “John 14:18

“Because I live, you also will live.” John 14:19b

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!'” Revelation 21:5a

These promises are for you. Just as the rainbow became a reminder of God’s promises in Genesis 9, let it remind you today.

Blessed is the one who believes!
