The Bible Says:

Mary Visits Elizabeth (Listen)

In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

Mary’s Song of Praise: The Magnificat (Listen)

And Mary said,

  “My soul magnifies the Lord,
    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
  for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
    For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
  for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name.
  And his mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
  He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
  he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of humble estate;
  he has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent away empty.
  He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
  as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.

(ESV)

—Luke 1:39-56

And here is a thought:

by: Angie Osborn.

Sometimes, when God does big things in our lives, we want to shout it from the rooftops. Other times, we need time to process and the company of a fellow believer who can understand or just listen. Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, after receiving her big news. Elizabeth responded in joy and praise. She lifted Mary up and encouraged her. When God asks big things of us, it is important to have those brothers and sisters in Christ who can walk with us. Sometimes we need assurance and encouragement. Sometimes we need validation. Sometimes we just need a listening ear. Who can you share your spiritual journey with?
