“Righteous Walk Though Barren”

Blessings folk!

Luke’s account of the birth of Jesus begins with a lead-in story.

Luk 1:5-7

In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

They were both righteous in the sight of God,
walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.

But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.


Zacharias
Elizabeth

A priest.
His wife.

Both were of priestly lineage.

Both were righteous before God.
Both walked blameless in all the commandments of the Lord.
Both walked blameless as to the requirements of the Lord.

Yet, as to children, they were barren.

Too often when “barrenness” is in our life…lack of this/that…we assume it is because we have sinned…done something wrong, etc.

Perhaps it could be “to the praise of the glory of His grace.”

Though barren, they walked.

May we do likewise.
