“And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord.” Luke 1:76
DAY 17-Don’t you enjoy each day that we get to spend as a family hearing and learning about Jesus? I hope you have been blessed and filled with more of God’s love on this journey. Today we get to continue hearing the praises of Zechariah.
Isn’t God so good? My wife and I cannot tell you enough how wonderful it is having all of you here with us. Didn’t you enjoy yesterday hearing how wonderful God is? Well today I want to continue sharing with you the praises of our God and of our son John.
“And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord. You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins. Because of God’s tender mercy, the light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” Luke 1:76-79
Could you imagine having such a call on your life even before you were born? Well guess what, you do, and you did, even before you were born. It is the call to help prepare others for the return of Christ. It is a call to share the Good News of the Savior that has come to redeem and save us. It is a call to join with other believers and lift your voices in shouts of praise to our Heavenly Father. And that my friends, is a great enough call to praise God about, because it is an honor to be a child of the Son of God.
I want to leave you with one last thing today. God should be praised before anything. Do you ever just go into your conversation with God asking for yourself before you praise Him for who He is? Man I have so many times and through all of this I have learned that He should be praised, honored, and adored before a single word is spoken for me or anyone else.
