Much later, the Gospel of Luke tells another story of God’s motivating action realized in the life of Zechariah the priest as he sings a song of praise, being filled with the Spirit prophesying, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he came and set his people free. He set the power of salvation in the center of our lives,” Luke 67-68 (MSG). When that power takes up residence in the center of our own lives there is no doubt as to God’s motivation for looking forward and upward. Messiah was sent, and is present now and forever, for our good.
If you think you have reached the end, just remember that God’s life-giving motivation will always be there to pick you up and get you going once again. You only need to listen with your heart to hear God’s voice, active in the center of every moment you live and breathe. He will always show you the way.
