Zacharias and Elizabeth

God Can Do the Impossible

Read Luke 1:5-25

Zacharias faithfully served God in what he was given to do, and God blessed him and used him for something wonderful. Sometimes we feel like God cannot use us until we are old enough or smart enough or big enough, but just like Zacharias, when we faithfully serve God, He will use us for His glory to do wonderful things.

A special baby was promised to Zacharias and Elizabeth. Jesus was coming and John would go before Him to prepare the hearts of the people to receive Him. God had not forgotten Zacharias and Elizabeth. He blessed them with a child in His own special way in His own perfect time. He saw them and was pleased with them because they were lights for Him in a very dark world. We don't always know how God will use us, but we can be faithful, loyal, and obedient to Him. He is honored when we believe His Word, even when it seems impossible, because God can do the impossible.
