10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
Zacharias
was a devout, righteous man. He wanted
to do what was right. He believed God
and His promises. He was a faithful
priest. Yet when an angel appeared to
him in the course of his temple duties, he was afraid. After hearing what the angel foretold, he could
not grasp it. He did not believe
it. He did not see how it could be. He wanted more information before he believed
it. He wanted to know more first. Gabriel fired back at him with his
credentials, and basically said, “Who are you to question me?” Zacharias had to become mute for a time. He had to be still to know God. He had to quit talking, quit asking
questions, and know God more. Rather than
knowing more information, he had to know more of God. Are you ready to be still and know more of
God? Try that and see how much sweeter
your Christmas is.
