Today’s scriptures are some of my favorites. To know that Elizabeth’s baby responded to Mary as she carried the Christ Child is amazing.
Luke 1:39-45
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country
with haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered
the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And
it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in
her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then
she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you
among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 But
why is this granted to me, that the mother of
my Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon
as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb
for joy. 45 Blessed is she
who [a]believed, for there will be a fulfillment of
those things which were told her from the Lord.”

Upon Mary's greeting, Elizabeth's baby (John the Baptist)
leaps in her womb, symbolizing the recognition of Jesus' divine presence even
before birth. Elizabeth praises Mary, declaring her blessed for believing in
God's promise, which underscores the theme of faith leading to divine favor. It
highlights the joy and recognition of God's presence in both women, emphasizing
their faith and the miraculous nature of their pregnancies.
