Luke 1:25 ““Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.”
These days we have folks who might see it as a good thing to be childless. But, in Israel in that time it was considered a sign of God’s disfavor. This was a shame for both the husband and wife. The brunt of it hit the wife though. Elizabeth was very relieved to be free of this stigma.
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Soon for all of us who were sinners. You have rolled away our reproach. Your love is amazing! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
