Zechariah – Chapter 9

  • Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double. Zechariah9:12 – What God has in store for those who return to Him is beyond anything they’ve had before. We read in Nahum 1:7 that God is our stronghold we are to return to. We read in 2 Corinthians 4:17 that what awaits us in eternal glory outweighs any momentary trouble we see in our story today. Scripture is showing us that in God we have hope for a better tomorrow. What’s been lost will be found and what’s been destroyed can be healed. Allow your path today to be directed towards God. What you need today can be found in Him. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1123
  • On that day the Lord their God will save them, as the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land. For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the young women. Zechariah 9:16-17 – Once again we see the heart of scripture playing itself out. God is about saving His people. Whatever the enemy may be, no matter how powerful they might be or how much wealth they have, our God is able to save us from them. The whole of scripture speaks to this truth that God is here to save His people. Today then, chose to be a part of the family of God. Understand your wrongs has caused a separation between you and God but Jesus has stepped into your story to cover those wrongs. Now a choice to follow Jesus, a choice to let Him forgive you and a choice of obedience to His words, is what will save you. The whole of scripture is about God desiring to save people and His desire is to save you. If this hasn’t ever been a part of your story before please reach out and allow me to work through any questions you might have. If you have already been saved by Jesus, what can you do today to help someone else find that same salvation? I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2118
