What Does Luke 1:64 Mean?

The sign ends at the moment of obedience: his mouth was opened immediately, and the first use of his recovered voice is praise. The discipline that began with doubt at the altar ends in blessing at a naming feast.

Nine months of silence had distilled everything Zacharias wanted to say, and it all came out as worship. God's corrections aim at exactly this — not to shame his servants but to tune them. When the Lord opens a mouth he has humbled, praise is what pours out.
