"I didn't see that coming," is a common expression after something unexpected happens. From accidents to surprises, we can easily be caught unaware, fixated in our own little worlds, tasks, and day to day lives.
It was the same in Jesus' day. Well, it was the same before His day, to be more specific. The Lord was silent for 400 years leading up to the birth of Christ. It was then that the Lord broke the silence to an unsuspecting priest named Zecharias and his wife, Elizabeth. Though Elizabeth was barren, they were chosen to be the parents of the one who would herald the arrival of our savior. God broke the silence, leaving Zecharias speechless, by sending a mouthpiece for the coming King of kings.
The question for us today is: If the Lord did something in your world right now, would you catch it or miss it?
