Grace for your spirit August 20, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.  Romans 4:20-21

This was Abraham's response to the news that he would soon be a father at age 100. This father of Isaac became a cornerstone of how faith really can work in our lives.  In stark contrast is the response of Zacharias to the same news.  Gabriel told him he would have a son in his old age.  That son would be John the Baptist.  His doubt cost him his voice until the time his son was born.  As a priest, no voice would be a handicap, but maybe God did him a favor.  If his words would be filled with doubt, it would be better that he didn't speak at all.  Could our voice be in jeopardy?  Let's trust in God's word and let others know.
