Lesson 4: What fills your belly?
As we continue to revisit the story of the birth of our Lord Jesus as recorded for us in the Holy Book, Elizabeth’s encounter with Mary in Luke 1:39-41 provides another learning opportunity for us.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s voice, the baby in her belly leaped. Following that moment, the prophetic unction came upon Elizabeth, she started to prophecy. Read Luke 1: 39-41.
Today’s lesson is a poignant reminder that whatever controls us or fills us will inevitably manifest
outwardly- be it our utterances, behavior and or beliefs. Elizabeth’s experience is challenging us to look within, examine our inner motivations, thoughts, desires, feelings and emotions. They speak volumes about who we are!
“Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
Matthew 15:17-20 NKJV
Regardless of the outcome of your inner journey, which is highly important, determine to be better. There’s a better you that you can become. The “you” that God is waiting for you to become; the “you” that Jesus hoped you would become by sacrificing himself for you!
Revisiting the birth story of Jesus also reminds us of His unobsolete invitation in .John 7:37-39 “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Rivers of living water will flow from his belly.”
