Leaping for Joy

As I am studying Luke 1 right now, I am struck with verse 44 which talks about Elizabeth and her unborn baby John the Baptist - "For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy."
I have always read this and realized how this evidences God's call on John the Baptist's life. But I don't know if I ever considered how this proves that unborn babies are distinct persons who are capable of emotions such as joy. But it does.
And this isn't the only Scripture that teaches us to protect unborn life. But it sure is a good one.

A Bible Adventure

Looking for an interesting way to get into the Word of God? Check out  www.dailyaudiobible.com

I began listening through the Word of God earlier this year, and it has been a really edifying experience. While I have always found it difficult to read through the Bible in a year, as I have been listening through it, I have found it more engaging, and I am discovering passages I haven't read in years.

I encourage you to check it out and see if it's for you - especially if you are struggling to have a consistent, fruitful time in God's Word.

You can listen on your computer or subscribe to the podcast and have it loaded on your ipod or smartphone each day.

Regardless of how you get into God's Word, get into it. It is the adventure of a lifetime.
