Read
Luke 1:39-56,
A
few days later Mary hurried to the hill country of Judea, to the town where
Zechariah lived. She entered the house and greeted Elizabeth. At the sound of
Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaped within her, and Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit.
Elizabeth
gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God
has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. Why am I so
honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me? When I heard your
greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. You are blessed because you
believed that the Lord would do what he said.”
Mary
responded,
“Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my
spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For he took notice of his lowly servant girl,
and from now on all generations will call me blessed.
For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things for me. He shows mercy from generation to
generation to all who fear him. His mighty arm has done tremendous things! He
has scattered the proud and haughty ones. He has brought down princes from
their thrones and exalted the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away with empty hands. He has helped his servant Israel and
remembered to be merciful. For he made this promise to our ancestors, to
Abraham and his children forever.”
Mary
stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back to her own home.

Women

Spirit

Acknowledge that Jesus is "Lord" (1:34)

Coming of the Lord" (1:17)
#5 Elizabeth [old woman] and Mary [teenage
girl] have Great Faith and Were Saturated with the Word of God

of the Lord (1:43), She Acknowledged that She needs a "Savior" (1:47)
#7 GOD is in ALL of These
