Does our faith need motivating? The facts don't move us to praise God.
1. Zechariah’s change from skepticism to song. (1:18) God is not bound by our limitations. After 9 months praise has replaced unbelief. It was time to think on what God had said. We often cannot see beyond the immediate issues.
2. The knowledge of Salvation. Rescued from what - 'strong Rescuer', from our enemies (things that prevent us serving God). Our great need is forgiveness of our sins.
