Day 4 Luke 1:11-17 Your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son: It is very doubtful that Zacharias prayed for a son when he was at the golden altar of incense. First, it might have seemed like such a "selfish" need. Second, since he and Elizabeth were both well advanced in years (Luke 1:7), they had probably given up on this prayer a long time ago. Sometimes we pray for something for a long, long time. We pray for the salvation of a spouse or a child. We pray for a calling or a ministry. We pray that God would bring that special person to us. But after years of heartfelt prayer, we give up out of discouragement. Zacharias and Elizabeth probably prayed years of passionate prayer for a son, but perhaps had given up. When we are in that place (and we do get there sometimes), we begin - in the smallest of ways - to doubt the love and care of God for us. But God always loves, and His care never stops, and His answer is always a perfectly timed ‘yes’ or ‘no’! #247daily
