Ironing and Listening

Today is ironing day, and I listened in to Revive Our Hearts to pass the time. Nancy Leigh DeMoss is pointing our thoughts toward Christ in this Christmas season. The title of the series is Zechariah's Hymn, someone we seldom hear about in the Christmas story. But here we see clearly the themes of redemption and salvation as God visits earth.

Nancy says,

So as we approach this season where we celebrate, we remember, we rejoice in the advent, the first coming of Christ to this earth, we join with saints of old, such as Zechariah, in singing and saying from our hearts, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people."
