Day 255 Reading: Luke 1:1 - Luke 3:38 Luke the author of the third gospel writes diligently seeking to show the reader of the validity of the accounts surrounding Jesus. The accounts are well researched by an inquisitive mind and thus when one reads the Gospel of Luke we find it contains details that give life to the accounts being told. With this in mind, we see that Luke writes the account of the birth of John the Baptist and that of Jesus differently from Matthew and Mark. Both Elizabeth and Mary carried children that were of a divine mandate. Mary on hearing the message of the angel Gabriel submits willingly to be used of God. Elizabeth had to deal with the fact that her hubby couldn't talk because he didn't believe the word of God and was thus struck with dumbness until the day he named his son as heaven desired. Elizabeth encourages Mary to believe God because He performs or fulfils His Word. The more I thought on this scripture the more I became convinced...
Daily we need to rise, conquer and be all that we can be.
