The Baby Prophet

Tuesday, November 9, 2021

Zechariah says an amazing thing in Luke 1:76, "You, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High." The amazing thing is that he is talking to a baby, but this is not baby talk. He is saying you are going to be a prophet, a Navi in Hebrew, of El Elyon, the Most High. These are awesome, beautiful words to a baby. The baby cannot fathom what he is saying; yet he is going to grow into it. So it is with your calling. You cannot fathom the calling, the hope that God gives us. Yochanan was a little baby version of what he would be, John the Baptist. We are little baby versions of what we will become if we obey and grow. The baby cannot understand the calling, but you keep going, just obey. Yochanan, John the Baptist, obeyed God and as he obeyed, he fulfilled his calling. Those words came true. You have an awesome high holy calling on your life. You do not have to understand it or God's way. Just obey and you will become the fulfillment of the call on your life.
