Faithful Stewardship
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.—Proverbs 27:23–24 (NIV)
And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.”—Luke 1:18
Do you believe in miracles? When Zechariah doubted that God was blessing his life with a miracle he lost his ability to speak. He did not believe God could change the laws of nature. He didn’t comprehend God’s amazing power.
Heavenly Father, sometimes I’m like Zechariah, lacking faith that You can make miracles happen. Help me to believe.
