WEEK 49 – DAY 7

GOD’S SOVREIGNTY SEEN IN THE WOMEN OF CHRISTMAS (New Testament)

Elizabeth, like Sarah was barren and old.

Her husband prayed, incense rising higher,

An angel appeared and their baby foretold,

a baby named John, forerunner of Messiah.

Mary was a peasant girl, but favored;

for God chose her to bear His Son.

Each moment surrounding His arrival she savored,

for her baby was the Promised One.

Anna, a widow, had served in the temple

and had longed to see the Anointed.

When she saw Baby Jesus, so tiny and simple,

others toward the Messiah, she pointed.
