Today's Reflection:
When the angel came to Zechariah to tell him that his wife would bear him a son, Zechariah was very skeptical. He said, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years." Do we not often look upon good news in a very skeptical manner? Do we not also look at other people and see their faults? Instead of being happy and looking for the good in people and situations, we look for the reasons it cannot be. God is telling us that when he sends us good news, it will happen, regardless of our skepticism. Should we also not look for the good in all people? Just as it is hard to see how certain good things can happen to us, so also should we look to see the good in other people. Don't sell other people short. None of us know what God has planned for them.
