After saying yes to God, Mary runs to Elizabeth and is met with the confirmation her heart needed: “Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.” Today, we see how faith and friendship can stir fresh joy, even in uncertainty. Like Mary, we’re called to magnify the Lord, to let His greatness overshadow our fear and fill our perspective with worship. This Advent, may belief anchor your soul, and may joy rise as you trust the God who always keeps His promises.
