And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord (Luke 1:45).Elizabeth’s final recorded statement to Mary was a blessing. She commented on Mary’s faith, that her young relative had indeed trusted God would do just what He had promised. Mary had cast herself upon the mercy and trustworthiness of God, and He had shown Himself faithful. She may not have even been able to tell she was yet pregnant, but the response of Elizabeth and her unborn child confirmed she was. Indeed, she could be certain the babe she carried was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Heb. 11:6 tells us it is impossible to please God without faith. Mary had trusted God’s Word, and He had proven her faith well-founded.
