ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
December 22, 2020
Scripture: Luke 1:66
All who heard them pondered them and said, “What then will this child become?” For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.

Thought for the Day: Every parent has some unspoken dreams for their child. Will she win the Nobel Prize? Will he find a cure for cancer? Will she have an amazing singing voice that inspires millions? Will he become the next Leonardo da Vinci? Though these thoughts may come to the mind of a parent, at the end of the day I believe most parents want above everything else health and happiness for their children. In the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, we learn Elizabeth has given birth to her son, John. After the proper naming ceremony at the temple, Zechariah regains his voice and praises God. The people in the temple believe John is special, for God’s hand is upon him. Isn’t the hand of God upon every child? Though called to different tasks and distinctive work, God is present in the life of every human being. Let us live as those who believe the hand of God is upon us.

Prayer: May your dreams for me, O Lord, be spoken clearly so I may perceive them and faithfully choose to embrace them. Amen.
