Leaping for Joy!!
John, as a baby in the womb of Elizabeth, leaped at the presence of Jesus in the womb of Mary. As we read in Luke 1:41-44,
"When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby LEAPED in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb LEAPED FOR JOY."
David also leaped with joy for Jesus. He shares this in
Psalms 28:7,
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart LEAPS FOR JOY, and with my song I praise him."
Do we leap for joy at the presence of Jesus in our lives? He is with us everyday through everything, through the good and bad. We are reassured of this in Joshua 1:9 "the Lord is with you wherever you go". Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:20 "surely I am with you always" and in Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Knowing this, we can leap for joy. He is ever present. His compassion never fail. His mercies are new every morning. He is our helper. He holds our hand. He is the source of all true joy.
So in the craziness of life, we need to remember to slow down, recognize his presence, recognize the blessings he has provided and soak ourselves in his loving presence. And when we do, we can leap for joy that we are never alone. We are never abandoned. He is beside us through thick and thin.
