Zacharias
went that morning to the temple
To serve
his Lord, which was simple.
He was to
light the fire beneath the incense
So the
sweet smell would rise to thee in silence
To the
pleasure of God, Zacharias was thrilled that day
To the
core of his being but when he thought of their tragedy
And prayed
once again from his heart for a baby
In the
silence, suddenly, and angel Gabriel was there
Saying he
was God's voice with news to end their despair.
They would
be parents of a wonderful, special son
Zacharias
questions what the angel said where upon
The angel
quieted the Lord’s servant’s voice
Until the
birth of the child. Still in his heart,
he rejoiced.
Upon
arriving home, after his service to God ending
He
motioned to Elizabeth what God was sending.
As
promised, they gratefully received a
son,
They named
him John, who became the special one.
What
stands out is - Zacharias heard God speak
Is this
something you might happen to seek?
Gabriel
was God’s voice and He spoke to Zacharias
While he
was praying in the silence of God’s house.
If you
pray from the depth of your heart and soul
God will
speak to you and take control,
Listen… be
still, seek silence, listen and hear
Hear what
God has to say and do not fear.
Listen
with heart and soul and you will find
He is
there and He will bring peace of mind.
Just
listen.
Prayer: Loving and forgiving Father, help us as we
reach out to you for the power that will transform us. Use our hands to serve you, as well as
others; our voices to speak the good news; and our ears open to hear you. In the name of Jesus. Amen
