Zechariah – Chapter 6

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze. Zechariah 6:1 – The chariots represented the decrees God has made and the mountain signifies the immovable and unchanging nature of those decrees. Simply put, what God said was going to happen and nothing was going to change that. What God says about our story is the same too. When God says He loves you, nothing is changing that. When God says the only way to Him is through Jesus, nothing is changing that. When God said He is coming back so be ready, nothing is going to change that. What God said stands and will always stand. That means the thing that needs to change is us. Dig deeper into His Word to seek out more of these truths that are unchanging to see what changes need to be made in your own story.

And those who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the Lord. And you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God. Zechariah 6:15 – Yesterday’s sermon at our church focused on much of what this last phrase stated. When we obey the voice of the Lord we will see great things happen and promises fulfilled in our life. Does that mean God doesn’t move we we are unfaithful to Him? No, God still works and still moves even when His people are unfaithful to Him, but what is being offered to us is a invitation into a life of intimacy with Him that is connected to obedience. Those who have been far off from the Lord are drawn close to Him and are able to have a hand in His great works being done when we obey His voice. Each day we then have a choice to obey or abandon the voice of God in our story. Do we follow it or do we choose our own path? Know obedience to the Lord’s voice means intimacy with God, blessing, and purposes of God fulfilled in you and through you. Choose to listen and obey the voice of the Lord.
