TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “…a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.” (Luke 1:5b-6)

BIBLE TWEET: Both Zacharias and Elisabeth, the parents of John the Baptist, were of priestly descent, as well as pious and devout, being devoted practitioners of every divine precept.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: It is certainly the rule and not the exception that God often uses the hands of godly parents to mold His most chosen vessels. 

“I have a high view of the position of Christian parents. I believe it to be the grandest of all earthly spheres. To bring up children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord is to build a temple for the Holy Ghost.” (Charles Spurgeon)
