Maybe there's a reason . . .

"Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God." - Luke 1:64

Dear Friends in Christ -

All it took was one act of faithfulness, one time of standing up for truth, and Zechariah was free to speak again.

Thinking about the unfaithfulness that caused Zechariah to go mute and then the faithfulness that set his voice free again might cause us to think that the answer is easy. Just do it.

But sometimes turning the corner from hopelessness to hopefulness, from lies to truth, from darkness to light is NOT easy. Sometimes there's something in the way.

And sometimes what's in the way isn't out there, in some other person or external situation. Sometimes what needs to change is something in us.

In this season of hope and waiting, may God give us the grace to see the things in us that need to change in order for us to break through to freedom.

Faithfully waiting and humbly hoping to see . . .
