/*For nothing is impossible with God. -- Luke 1:37*/

I don't know if Zechariah and Elizabeth tried getting their miracle 
their way or not. By the time Gabriel showed up in the temple, 
Zechariah's faith had worn thin. It sounds like he had given up.

But God hadn't given up. How long had God planned the miraculous birth 
of John the Baptist? Let me suggest it was planned from the beginning of 
time.

Our impossibilities of grief, of betrayal, of lack, of pain, of need -- 
none of these have escaped God's notice. His solution -- our miracle -- 
is already on the books.

When our miracle shows up, we make some discoveries, just like Zechariah 
did: God's plans are bigger than ours. God hasn't forgotten, and He 
hasn't stopped caring. What God does for us isn't just for us alone. It 
has a ripple effect that will touch people all over the world.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
