Who knows how long Zechariah and Elizabeth have been praying for... but can you imagine that the scope of their prayer would've reached this far? Here they are, two small people, and their story is woven into the grand story of the redemption of God's people.
It's a reminder to us -- our stories matter. We think of ourselves as small, and we are, and yet our stories matter to God, and we are part of the larger narrative as well. God weaves us in, using our lives and our testimonies to tell a larger story, and the world comes to know Christ as King and Christ as Savior through us.
So let us, too, have joy and gladness. For great is our God!
