Zechariah’s Song

Zechariah’s role in the Christmas story is easily overlooked. He and his wife, Elizabeth, probably felt overlooked by God, too, as their prayers for a child went unanswered. Their story in Luke 1 is a journey from doubt to divine fulfillment, giving us hope that God is still actively at work in our lives even when He seems silent. Zechariah’s quiet obedience turns into a song of blessing as he gives us a clear model to follow in times we feel God has forgotten us.
