Zechariah Is Struck Dumb Until the Fulfillment of Gabriel’s Prophecy

Yesterday we read about Zacharias and his life—a life that may not seem all that special in the world’s eyes.

That might be how you feel about your life, and yesterday we ended the day praying that we would live ready to serve where, when and how He calls to serve.

If an angel came to me and told me these promises of the future, I would probably respond with a question similar to Zacharias’s.

“How can I be sure of this?” [v. 18 NIV]

He went on to give a worldly reason as to why this promise must certainly be impossible: “I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.” [v. 18, NIV]

I may not have a time in my life when I’ve told an angel God’s promises for my life are impossible, but I know I’ve told my heavenly father. It’s so easy to say “I believe! I’ll go where you call me to go!”

It’s harder to put those words into action.

Let us pray this verse in Mark 9:24 together today:

“Lord, I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.” [NIV]
