Luke 1:13, 18
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
...
18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
When told he would have a son, Zechariah doubted the angel's word. From Zechariah's human perspective, his doubts were understandable - but with God, anything is possible. Although Zechariah and Elizabeth were past the age of childbearing, God gave them a child. It is easy to doubt or misunderstand what God wants to do in our lives. Even God's people sometimes make the mistake of trusting their intellect or experience rather than God. When tempted to think that one of God's promises is impossible, remember His work throughout history. God's power is not confined by narrow perspective or bound by human limitations. Trust Him completely.
