Jesse Tree Day 17 || When we trust in the Lord, God transforms our doubt into faith and joy.
Gabriel knew that Zechariah doubted that the Lord could give him and Elizabeth a son in their “advanced” age, so he made him silent. During those 9 months, Zechariah witnessed God’s power and faithfulness. When he was given the ability to speak again, Zechariah spoke of what Gabriel had told him — that John would prepare the way for the Lord. God had transformed his doubts into deep faith.
This Advent, reflect on moments you have doubted God — his love, his presence in your life, his plan for you, or even his ability to make all things possible — ask him for deep faith and the ability to trust in his abiding love.
