8Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
For a meaning of the name Zechariah, NOBSE Study Bible Name List reads Yahweh Remembers and Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names has Remembered Of The Lord.
Isn’t it interesting after 400 years of silence between God and the human race, the resumption of Divine communication begins with Zechariah, one who is remembered of the Lord. It is as though the eyes of the Lord were searching to and fro looking for who He would bless with this amazing assignment. And lo He remembers Zechariah, an old man who had longed for a son of his own, one who had prayed countless prayers in that regard. Undoubtedly in Zechariah's old age he probably quit praying for a son but God Remembered.

I can rely on God and His ability to redeem and transform things and circumstances into His perfect will. I need to have a loose touch on my will and be open to finding my place in His orchestration. Therefore, today I will walk circumspectly and check any temperamental strong headed or spirit of insistence that may be in me, and be ready and willing to “lay it down” under God’s mighty hand.
