Divine Moments
 
Today’s Verse:
Then there appeared to him (Zechariah) an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. - Luke 1:11  
 
Before the angel appeared to Zechariah, we are told that he is serving and doing what he is called to do. Because of this, God orchestrated an event that presented an angel to Zechariah to deliver him news (read Luke 1 to find out more!) Thinking that God is always orchestrating my life and moments to interact with me gives me hope and peace. Because Zechariah was serving and obeying the Lord, he was open to an opportunity to interact with God. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to seek out these moments or create an atmosphere where I can grasp one if it were to occur. Our busy modern schedules tell us we don’t have time for prayer or quiet time. If we don’t have time for those things, how can we ever expect to hear God?
 
Today’s Prayer:

God, I pray that in our moments of quiet time You would train our hearts to lean into and listen for Your voice. I pray we can go to a place where we aren’t distracted and that we can sense Your presence strongly. Remove the idea of “business” from our minds and remove laziness from our schedules. Please speak to us Lord, because we want to listen. Amen.
 
I hope and pray each and every one of you has a great day!
