Monday of the 4th Week of Advent

For you will conceive and bear a son.


Barren women, past the age of child-bearing, who become mothers against all odds have a special role in the Bible. They remind us that nothing cannot be done if the Almighty so wishes it. What are the areas of barrenness in our own lives that we have given up on? We must never lose hope, nor should we forget our principles. Continue to do what is right by the Lord, and allow Him to be the one who directs the circumstances of your life. He knows what’s best and He always blesses us, even in what may seem like long periods of barrenness. Stay worthy in the sight of the Lord, like Elizabeth and Zechariah did, for only good can come of a persevering faith. 


Father God, thank you for reminding me that out of barrenness can come the miracle of conception, creation and a birthing of new life.
