God is so amazing to me. When you read His word it is so obvious that He cares about the details. Not only had He made a way for Christ to come to earth BUT He also blessed a elderly godly couple with a son that would prepare a way for Christ ministry.
In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.
BUT they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old..
BUT the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord.
I love how every time the angel comes to someone the first thing they say is “Do not be afraid”. I can not imagine what it would be like to really audibly hear from an angel of God..
Take time today to thank God for the details of Christmas this will take an effort on your part! BUT it will be worth it my friend.
