Blessed is she who believed

Luke 1:45 (NKJV) "Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord." I came across this scripture a couple of years ago on Pinterest, and I was quite fascinated by it. At that point in my life, I wasn't reading the Bible regularly; I simply enjoyed looking at scriptures on Pinterest. So when I came across this verse, it stood out to me, even though I didn't fully understand the context at the time. Here's the context. After Mary encountered the angel and was told that she would give birth to the Saviour, the angel also informed her that her relative Elizabeth, who had been called barren, was already pregnant with John the Baptist. When Mary went to visit Elizabeth, the child in Elizabeth's womb leaped for joy. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke these words to Mary: "Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord....

The Pursuit Of Identity

There is a song I absolutely love and listen to a lot. It is a cover by Lawrence and Godswill Oyor titled Oshimiri Atata (which translates to, "River that never runs dry"). The song talks about how Jesus is the river that never runs dry. He is the One that provides never ending nourishment. He is the One that fills us up. There is a particular line in the song that stood out to me the very first time I heard it: "The son of a lion is a lion." At the time, I didn't understand why the line stood out to me but after a while, it made sense. One of the biggest topics in our generation is about identity. We all desire to know who we are. The problem starts when we want to discover our identities outside of the One who created us. Before fully giving my life to Christ, I was in the pursuit of my identity but I was using the world's standards. I wanted to find my place in society, I wanted to fit in. My search was outside of Christ and that led to a lot of confusio...

Exposed in His presence

What do you do when you're in the presence of a holy God? Naturally, His holiness highlights our unholiness, and our first instinct is to hide from His presence. His holiness forces us to come to terms with our unholiness, and it often feels like we are unworthy of Him or of being in His presence. However, He doesn't view us as people who should be rejected. If anything, He views us as His perfect creations, a chosen generation, and His own special people (1 Peter 2:9). We are called to be holy just as He is holy (Leviticus 19:2). When you're in the presence of a holy God and all your unholiness is exposed, you should take that as an invitation to be holy as He is holy. His presence is not an invitation to condemnation, it's an invitation to be like Him. An invitation to walk with Him and spend time with Him until you are like Him. In the book of Isaiah 6, when Isaiah saw the Lord seated on His throne, he recognized that he was a man of unclean lips who dwelt in the mid...
