Elizabeth
Elizabeth was married to a priest named Zechariah but they had been unable to have a child. They were righteous people that loved God and lived by his commands.
One day Zachariah was serving in the temple when an angel came to him and told him that God had heard his prayers and his wife would have a son who they were to call John. Luke 1:13-14
Elizabeth was overjoyed that at last, she was to bear a son. Luke 1:25. God had answered their prayers at last.
Mary, the mother of Jesus and Elizabeth were cousins and when Mary went to visit her, Elizabeth's baby leaped in her womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit.
She did name the baby John and he would grow up to baptize people with water, preparing the way for the Messiah.
God always keeps his promises to us. Maybe not today. Maybe not next week. Maybe not next year. But at the time he deems best as he knows when the time is right for us to receive them. We can be assured that he hears us and wants the very best for us and wants to give us the desires of our hearts. Are you waiting for something you have been praying for and it seems like he will never get around to answering it? If so, just remember these women of the bible that prayed for a long time for children and God gave them to them in his own timing. He will for you as well.
Thanks for your visit today Friends. I am glad you came. Til tomorrow be blessed!
