Luke 1:57-80

God's silence is not punishment but preparation for meaningful breakthroughs. Through Zechariah's story in Luke 1, we learn that periods of silence can be transformative when we respond with humility and obedience. By slowing down, remaining teachable, and continuing to serve, we position ourselves to recognize God's work around us. When we finally step into obedience, like Zechariah naming his son John, we often discover that the silence was preparing us for a greater purpose and testimony.
