Like Zechariah don't miss the anticipation of your promise. The angel
Gabriel told him he would be a father, and he didn't believe it.
Everything in the natural realm told him that for him and Elizabeth to
have a child would be a total impossibility. Zechariah paid for that
lack of faith. The promise would still come true, but he lost something
valuable.....the joy of the anticipation of His promise... the
expectation of something that was coming
that needed to be shared and spoken. He lost the ability to speak. He
lost the anticipation of the promise to come.
Elizabeth
and Mary were both expectant with their promises! Be expectant with
yours. Have faith to believe in the impossible. Enjoy your time of
waiting for your promise knowing that God is doing a miraculous thing in
you. Persevere and do His will, and believe the promise will come
(Hebrews 10:35-36). All things are possible with God, and it is always
in His timing.
Elizabeth and Mary felt the promises
within them growing and maturing. They knew the joy of expectation.
Enjoy your time of waiting. It can be almost as joyful as the arrival of
the promise itself. God's promise to you is just as real. But don't
focus on just the time that it will come. You will lose the joy of
expectation in the waiting.
