the Text with Your Life:
- Think about a time when you, like Zechariah, took a step of faith and began speaking, praising God.
- Of the promises listed in Zechariah’s song (verses 67-79), which one means the most to you? Why?
- How has God unfolded his plan of salvation in your life? Who helped prepare the way? What were some key events that led you to your commitment to Jesus? Write a verse of praise to God using the special events from your own spiritual journey.

Focus: That we would, like John, “prepare the way for the
Lord” for people who have yet to meet Him.
