—Luke 1:57-66
by: Trisha Gerstel.
As a newborn baby, John had no way to understand that, as the angel Gabriel foretold in Luke 1:15, the Spirit of the Lord would be upon him. He had no way to conceptualize that the Spirit would cause the miracle of Zachariah’s loosed tongue with which he fulfilled his purpose of praising God. Unlike the infant John, however, we do know of God’s promise to fill us with His Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17) and to work through us. Unfortunately, we often forget that promise. Let us commit ourselves to daily remembering that the Lord is with us and is using us to reach others.
