Good morning.

I’m still thinking about something I heard from Beth Moore yesterday – Wednesdays with Beth – so why not write about it for our Thursday time together. Right?

Luke 1: 62 And they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called.
via Luke 1 NASB – Introduction Inasmuch as many have – Bible Gateway.

They (meaning the people present at the birth of John the Baptist) made signs to Zechariah asking him what would be the baby’s name.

But how did they ask him? They signed to him.

And if that were not so indicative of how we are that would be hilarious.

Zechariah was NOT deaf. He was MUTE.

Could we say that the people had watched Zechariah signing to them for nine plus months and therefore they conformed to what they saw?

You will recall from the TEXT that when Zechariah did not believe the Word of the LORD given by Gabriel that Gabriel closed Zechariah’s MOUTH, not his EARS.

Perhaps in our ‘monkey see, monkey do’ society, we would do well to have our mouths shut so our ears might hear the WORD of the LORD.

And that’s all I’m saying – for today. :)

Thank You, ABBA, for humor filled with truth.  And forgive us that so often what we see and what we say hinders us from HEARING You. I pray this message today will be heard by us all and we will be made better by it and more available in service to You and the Body of Christ. And it is in His Name I come this morning bringing our IDOKs asking for strength and courage to live holy today. And praying for Dylan to recover and remembering Kathy and Joe; and Ken and Della; Carson; Willow Grace; Betty; Melinda; Janet; DeLois; Jenny; Elaine; Kerri; Diana; Dori; unspoken requests; Israel; the desperate need for repentance and revival; all these and this we bring in petition for help and healing and encouragement . Amen and amen.
