Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her! – (Luke 1:45, NIV)
Great blessings are yours because you believed what the Lord said to you! You believed this would happen. – (Luke 1:45, ERV)
Though this was a conversation between Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Elizabeth her cousin, in reference to the miraculous that God was doing through Mary to bring about the birth of Jesus, it is a principle that is applicable to all. If God has promised, He will fulfill. Our responsibility is to believe the Lord is faithful to bring forth His promises and walk in obedience, trusting that what He says, He will do. Blessings are ours as we witness the wonder of God’s ways of working to bring what He has promised to fulfillment. May we choose to hold fast to faith and believe the promises of God and trust the Lord at His word.
Blessings are granted,
To those who believe;
Who trust in the Lord,
In word, thought and deed.
What He has promised,
The Lord will fulfill;
Forever faithful,
Believe, and He will.
The Lord is so good,
His love shall endure;
Now and forever,
Our hope is secure.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that blessings are ours when we believe that You will do what You say You will do. Thank You that You are faithful to fulfill Your promises. Forgive us for our unbelief, and teach us to trust You more. Help our hearts to find security in the truth of who You are, and the hope that is held in You alone. Show us how to love those around us in such a way, that they too may come to know the blessings found in believing. May many choose a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we believe Your promises and trust Your word. Amen.
