Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another morning with the Masters.

We're going to devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Good morning, guys.

We are picking up with day two of our The Christmas Story devotional.

In the Bible app, there's a link to that in the description of the podcast.

If you guys want to follow along with us, and as always, I'm going to read the scripture

and the Torah is going to pick it with a divo.

Let's do it.

We're also doing day eight of our Christmas giveaway, so stay tuned to the end for that.

But first things first, the scripture is Luke chapter 1 verses 67 through 79.

And it says this, then his father, Zechariah, was filled with the spirit and gave this prophecy.

Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people.

He has sent us a mighty savior from the royal line of his servant, David,

just as he's promised through his holy prophets long ago.

Now we will be saved from our enemies and from all who hate us.

He has been merciful to our ancestors by remembering his sacred covenant,

the covenant he swore with an oath to our ancestor Abraham.

We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear and holiness

and righteousness for as long as we live.

And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the most high,

because you will prepare a way for the Lord.

You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins.
