Don't ever give up--Our GOD can do anything!!! Luke 1:5-26

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!!

  We must always remember that GOD is bigger than us, the world, the universe, greater than satan or any evil that comes our way.  AND, in knowing this we must not give up. Things may happen in our families, our neighborhood, our career, in politics, in world thinking and attitude, BUT, we must not give up.  We MUST maintain our faith and hope in GOD.  Let me tell you a quick story.
   There once was a righteous man who was a priest of GOD. He and his wife were well past the child bearing age and had come to that realization.  So, he would just continue as a priest of GOD, and she, being his loyal wife and supporter.
  Then one day something strange, different, and fearful at that moment happened.  He was a Jewish priest and he was chosen to be the priest who would enter the Holy Place to offer incense to God for the people.  WOW!!! What an honor!
  Upon entering, suddenly, to his surprise and terror, he came face to face with an angel. Whaaatt??
  The message the angel had for him was hard to believe, he would be a father, BUT, he doubted it because of his age. Here is his response in Luke 1: 18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
  Here Zacharias is doubting - known as letting human thoughts and knowledge overcome what God can do. For God, there are no physical limitations.
  Because he doubted the angel said: 20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
  So, when ole Zach came out the people noticed something different and they thought he had seen a vision in the temple. Zach finished his ministerial duties, then went to his house and stayed.  His wife, Elizabeth, then conceived and became pregnant. And, of course, I do hope you know the rest of the story. They were the parents of John the Baptist.  You can read here about this story here, Luke 1:5-26.  Remember, Elizabeth is a cousin of who???  Yes, the Virgin Mary. 
  PHYSICAL OR PERSONAL LIMITATIONS DO NOT LIMIT GOD!!!  Please remember this as you go forth this and every day you have breath to praise GOD!  Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
