REMEMBER (DON’T FORGET) TO
PRAY
As we begin, don’t forget to pray Psalm
19:14 and Mark 4:24-25.
Here they are from the Message version
of the Bible (MSG):
And in the HCSB Version:
Also, the GW Translation:
READ AND PRAYER JOURNAL ABOUT
LUKE 1:8-9
Now, let’s look at Luke 1:8-9. Read it
first in your favorite version of the Bible. Prayer journal about it.
PRAYER JOURNAL ABOUT EACH OF THESE THINGS: What jumped out at you? What
did you learn? What can you apply to your life? What did you say to God? What
did God say to you? What did you learn about Jesus, if anything? How can this
passage deepen your knowledge of Jesus Christ? How can this help you live a
life of Jesus?
FURTHER READING AND PRAYER JOURNALING: Now, read Luke
1:8-9 in at least two more versions of the Bible and answer the previous
questions again.
Luke 1:8-9 / Names of God Bible (NOG)
8 Zechariah was on duty with his division of priests. As he served in
God’s presence, 9 he was chosen by priestly custom to go into the Lord’s
temple to burn incense.

Oh, dear. See. This is why I’m calling
this the “6+ Year Four Gospel Project.”
I could spend several days looking up everything about Zechariah. How about
you? If he’s mentioned in Luke, one of the Four Gospels, it’s important. The
Four Gospels, after all, are about the life of Jesus. Therefore, I want to
glean every morsel I can from each and every word, never mind each and every
word. The more I treasure these words, as Mary did in Luke 2:19, the more I
will get to know Jesus and the more of a life of Jesus I will lead and live.

Luke 2:19 / Expanded Bible (EXB)
