When we choose to follow the Lord’s commands, grace and blessings overflow on us. At first, Zechariah did not believe the message of the Angel that he and Elizabeth would be parents despite their advanced years. Belief did not translate into trust in God’s power.
When the child was born and named John, as they were told to do, Zechariah regained his speech (Lk. 1:57-66, 80). A new instrument to ‘prepare the way of the Lord’ and a renewed consciousness of God’s power was awakened. Today, claim new grace and walk in joy.
Loving Father, Your grace and mercy are new every morning. Help us to listen and respond to Your word, so that like John the Baptist, we too may prepare the way for your coming. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
