When Faithfulness Feels Fruitless

Scripture: Luke 1:6 — “Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.”

Explanation

Zechariah and Elizabeth lived faithfully for years. They obeyed God, served Him, and lived upright lives. But they also carried deep pain—they still had no child. Sometimes faithfulness feels unnoticed. Sometimes we wonder if God is even paying attention. Luke reminds us that God saw every moment of their obedience, even during the years when nothing seemed to happen.

Their story tells us something important: God sees your quiet faithfulness even when it feels fruitless. He is never blind to the sacrifices, tears, and prayers you’ve offered to Him in the shadows.

Application

Take a moment today to thank God for seeing you. Keep serving, keep trusting—God is not done.

Pray: “Lord, renew my heart so I won’t give up on doing what is right.”
