Zechariah

These last 18 months have been full of many trials. Yet, among those trials were countless blessings. It was the blessings that got us through.

Tonight I was helping my mom with a lesson for her AWANA group. She's studying Luke 1 and the story of Zechariah.

He was a high priest. In the temple one day, the angel Gabriel came to visit him and told him he and his wife Elizabeth would have a son and they would name him John.

Zechariah was like, "dude, I'm old, so is my wife, you've got the wrong guy."

Gabriel said, "I'm not wrong, I stand with God, your wife is preggers. Because you doubted, you won't be able to speak. How do you like them apples?"

I'm paraphrasing, but I'm positive it was something like that.

It got me thinking about doubting. In the last 18 months I've done my fair share of doubting. Yet God has remained completely faithful. He's provided so much for my family, it doesn't seem like I'm worth any more of his blessings. Yet I know He loves me in a way I cannot comprehend.

I'm awestruck.

His blessings are unfathomable.
