Luke 1:67-75
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. 69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David 70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—72 to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham: 74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
Zechariah has been unable to speak for Elizabeth’s entire pregnancy. (Some would say this is part of Elizabeth’s many blessings.) But then eight days after his son’s birth
Zechariah’s voice returns, and he does not speak but sings praise to God. Our only response to the life that God brings is praise. What do you need to praise God for today?
