TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “…and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.” (Luke 1:41b-44)

BIBLE TWEET: Elisabeth, who was filled with the Holy Spirit, was Mary’s elder and the wife of a priest, but she was humbled by the visit of Mary, the young and lowly handmaiden, for all the Spirit-filled have low thoughts of their merits and high thoughts of God’s mercies.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: The Lord fills us with His Spirit so that we, like Elisabeth, will loudly speak out for Him. Notice, all the Spirit had shown to Elisabeth—that Mary was blessed among women as the chosen mother of our Lord, that the fruit of Mary’s womb was the blessed Son of God, and that Elisabeth’s own baby, who leaped in her womb, would someday leap into action in the wilderness, as the promised forerunner of Christ—was shared by Elisabeth with Mary.
