“Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, but his mother answered, “No; he shall be called John.” And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name.” And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called. And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they all wondered. And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.”

All,

This stands out because Luke says, “And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.” Obedience is powerful in our walk with Christ. Until I obey, do I REALLY trust God? We all have certain areas of our life where we don’t want to obey God. It’s easier to obey other parts and maybe get points by serving in others areas, but God is concerned about those tough areas because He knows those build Faith in Him and away from ourselves or a idol. Please pray that we and our friends obey today. Please pray for Jim and Lloyd.
