In this message from Luke 1, 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀𝗼𝗻 looks at the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth and reminds us that God’s silence is not the same as God’s absence. Zechariah and Elizabeth were faithful, godly people who still lived with disappointment and unanswered prayer. But God had not forgotten them. His timing was different from theirs, and His purpose was much bigger than they could see. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴.
