TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.” (Luke 1:59-64 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Whereas doubt had left him dumb, faith and obedience opened Zacharias’ mouth and loosened his tongue so that he could once again praise God. It is only those who truly believe God who can truly praise God. (Luke 1:18-20)

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Notice, it was saying what God said; namely, that his son’s name was John, that enabled Zacharias to speak. Likewise, it is only when we say what God says, through the Holy Scriptures or the Holy Spirit, that we are enabled to speak for God. (Peter 4:11)
