Day 1: Breaking the Silence

Devotional: For 400 years, God's people heard nothing from heaven. Silence. Oppression. Darkness. Financial hardship. Political turmoil. They wondered if God had forgotten them. But silence doesn't mean absence. God was preparing the perfect moment—the right time—to send His Son.

Into Zechariah's routine temple service, Gabriel appeared with earth-shattering news: the silence was breaking. Your prayers have been heard. A forerunner is coming. The Messiah is near.

Perhaps you're in a season of silence, wondering if God sees your struggle. Take heart: God's delays are not denials. He hears every prayer of the righteous. What seems like divine silence may actually be divine preparation for something greater than you've imagined. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep watching. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think.

Reflection: What have you been praying about that seems delayed? How might God be preparing something greater than you expected?
