Promise Fulfilled

Bible in a Year: Proverbs 8-9, 2 Corinthians 3

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

Today's Scripture & Insight: Luke 1:26-38

Each summer when I was a child, I would travel two hundred miles to enjoy a week with my grandparents. I wasn't aware until later how much wisdom I soaked up from those two people I loved. Their life experiences and walk with God had given them perspectives that my young mind couldn't yet imagine. Conversations with them about the faithfulness of God assured me that God is trustworthy and fulfills every promise He makes.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a teenager when an angel visited her. The incredible news brought by Gabriel must have been overwhelming, yet she willingly accepted the task with grace (Luke 1:38). But perhaps her visit with her elderly relative Elizabethâ€”who was also in the midst of a miraculous pregnancy (some scholars believe she may have been sixty years old)â€”brought her comfort as Elizabeth enthusiastically confirmed Gabriel's words that she was the mother of the promised Messiah (vv. 39-45).

As we grow and mature in Christ, as my grandparents did, we learn that He keeps His promises. He kept His promise of a child for Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah (vv. 57-58). And that son, John the Baptist, became the harbinger of a promise made hundreds of years beforeâ€”one that would change the course of humanity's future. The promised Messiahâ€”the Savior of the worldâ€”was coming! (Matthew 1:21-23).

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain.

HOW PROPHETIC ARE YOUR NAMES?

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
