Luke 1:22 “But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.”
It was not his inability to speak, but the expressions on his face, that clued the people in to the vision. They interpreted his expressions and his hand gestures to mean that he had seen a vision, before they realized that he was unable to talk.
Of course, just as Zacharias’ inability to speak helped him to believe the angel, once the people realized that he was mute, it helped them to believe as well.
Heavenly Father, help us to believe You even when our flesh tells us that we know best. Help us to trust You to lead our lives in the way that You would have us to go. Help us realize that You always have our best interest at heart. You will lead us in the path that is best for our feet. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
