Shh!!!

When Zecharias heard that he would be a father in his old age with a wife that was barren, God did something remarkable.  First, God dealt with communication.  He shut the mouth fo Zecharias for nine months.  He put a moratoreum on speaking about the birth.  In order to seal it, God struck Zecharias with dumbness so that he would not be able to tell it even if he wanted to.  Sometimes, God will give you something that you just can't speak on.  I have practiced this for quite a while.  Conversation, sometimes, can lack boundaries and we speak on things that we should not be speaking on.  Sometimes, I refuse to talk about a subject for an amount of time because words would violate the atmosphere and I may ruin my own blessing.  If I am unsure or if I am sure, but frustrated, I will stop speaking.  In the case of Zecharias, his mouth opened when the baby was born and it was time for him to be named.  God will tell you when it is time to open your mouth and speak.  Until then, don't let words ruin your destiny by being spoken too soon or by being spoken at all.
