—Luke 1:18-25

After Elizabeth became pregnant, she went into seclusion for five months. To us, this seems strange. Wouldn't she be out praising God in public and telling all her friends about her miraculous pregnancy? But, being the quiet and devout woman she is, she chose to keep to herself, silently praising God for this miracle worked in her. How wondrous those times of devotion and praise must have been, to have this gift of a child long past the age most women could have borne a baby! We serve a God of miracles!
