Luke 1:68-75 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us; to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
Zacharias has just had his tongue loosed after being kept silent while awaiting his son's birth. You would think the first words out of his mouth would relate to his son. Instead, this time of silence has given him the ability to step back and see the bigger picture - it's all about the coming of Christ. God is coming for a visit. He is coming to deliver. What should our response to God be in light of His coming? to serve Him all our days. May we shut up, step back and see chat Christ's coming is all about, and then let us go and to serve Him joyfully with a life a holiness that He deserves.
