God is in harmony (Luke 1: 63)

Baby of Elizabeth was born in the first place, friends and relatives gathered at home to name babies. This turned out to be more difficult than expected, as Elizabeth claimed that the child was called John. Nobody thought that name that applies to Zechariah's family. I checked with Zechariah who was stupid for John 's 9 months pregnancy, and confirmed that John really became a name.

Now, please tell me: Zechariah taught the name of the child by the angel Gabriel, and Zechariah could not talk when he left the temple (Luke 1: 8-23). So, did Elizabeth know what the child's name should be?

Elizabeth was able to learn that the name of the expected child from the partner who could not even speak is a pointer to a very healthy harmony state in that marriage. It was the extraordinary degree of harmony in their marriage that Zechariah and Elizabeth were able to reduce the enormous problems like childhood from their young age to such an extent that they are not important.

These two persons had excellent communication even if one of the partners could not speak. As a result, Elizabeth knew that Zechariah would have named his child according to the instructions of God designated by the angel Gabriel of the temple. Many marriages where both partners have full voices are collapsing due to poor communication. We misuse the speech to create enough noise to abuse, threaten, attack each other and not hear criticism.

In accordance with the example of Zechariah and Elizabeth, it really makes me understand the feelings and opinions of others. Tie your heart to the spirit of your spouse, even now or even when the time comes, please join together. When two people are knitted together for God to help each other, always great results come out. I pray for your marriage being a third partner, which connects your heart to God to love one another.

Zechariah recovered his almighty power right after the child's naming, "He blessed God and said," (Luke 1: 64). When heaven comes to touch the earth, it is always the best. Wonders of recent events never left Zechariah. His existence reminds us that heaven actually touched the earth and that he personally witnessed such a wonderful event every day.

Zechariah admitted that all this was much greater than the prayers for Zechariah and Elizabeth 's children. It was answered, but God was doing a wider thing here at the same time. And Zechariah shows that an incredible amount of everything is not lost to him. When Mary visited, she stayed at the house of Zechariah for three months (Luke 1: 56). Therefore Zechariah knew that the angel Gabriel went unexpectedly to Mary after meeting him at the temple. Mary worked in Joseph who was at home of David. Zechariah understood that God through the house of David, a new measure of liberation from persecution is taking a new move considered on the earth. Zechariah gave an impact to the Jews, but God returned to the promises God promised Abraham years ago. Among these, there was a promise by Abraham that "all families of the earth bless themselves" (Genesis 12: 3).

God was doing special things for Zechariah and Elizabeth. But the child was trying to play a special role to prepare people for the service of the Savior who was supposed to be born from the house of David. Special things were happening among the Jews. It was detained by improving the situation as politically exploited people. But there were so many things to overcome colonial oppression simply. Sin is the worst oppressor no matter where you are when people are found. Zechariah realized that by calling on the promise of Abraham, God began with what he did at his own home and that he had great gains worldwide. Great! He talked about redemptive, salvation, and forgiveness of sin (Luke 1: 68, 69, 77). Zechariah really placed his fingers on it. You and I have to escape the negative consequences of our sins through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Can you see that there is room to improve the effectiveness of communication with you and your spouse?

If your spouse suddenly became foolish, will communication between you improve or will it get worse? (Banana only for hope)
