Several questions to help us engage with the text:
PAUSE & CONSIDER – think of a time when God manifested Himself to you, and you found it challenging to describe. You were speechless. As you bring this to your mind, write it down in your journal & celebrate your identity as One loved by God with startling hope.
PRAYER PROMPT: Father in heaven, I pray that I can be like Zechariah – that people that I encounter in my daily traffic patterns will recognize that I have seen a vision from You. I desire to be like the early disciples in Acts 4:13 – when people observe me, they will “recognize that I have been with Jesus.” Change me to become like Jesus in the following ways ___________________________________ (speech, relational health, attitude, etc) Amen.
