Christmas Playlist: Zechariah's Song

Lk 1:67-80 Zechariah's song
Lk 1:5-25 Zechariah was chosen to burn incense, which was a one in a lifetime event. An angel appears to Zechariah, and told him that he and Elizabeth would have a son and he would be a prophet like Elijah to point people to Jesus.
Mal 4:4-6 A prophet like Elijah will come
Lk 1:57-66 the angel's prophecy comes true and Zechariah praises God.
-My timetable and God's timetable are two totally different things! This story happened 400 years after Malachi prophesied about it. I should be praying consistently, and never stop believing in God. 2 Pet 3:8-10
-God will turn your doubt and pain into joy and worship! Zechariah had unbelief, and God disciplined him by not allowing him to talk until John was named. God's discipline may not feel like his love, but it does come from his love for us. Heb 12:5-8; Prov 3:11-12
-This is His story, not my story! It's not about me, it's about God and Jesus' love and sacrifice. He wants me to be part of His story.
