How do you find words to describe a miracle?

Morning: Psalms 148, 149, 150; Amos 6.1–14; 2 Thessalonians 1.5–12

Evening: Psalms 114, 115; Luke 1.57–68

The story goes: the angel tells Zechariah his wife Elizabeth will have a son and that they should call the child John.  Zechariah is rendered speechless by the encounter – Is it the consequence of his doubt or just plain shock and awe that ties his tongue?  When the child is born, Zechariah confirms the boy should be named ‘John’.  Then, Zechariah can speak again.  Sometimes an idea is so astounding, so unbelievable that you’re dumbfounded, you don’t know what to say, maybe you’re afraid to speak? … until – even more astounding – it happens!!  Then you want to tell everyone.
