God's Commitment to His People (Zechariah 4:10)


God's Commitment to His People (Zechariah 4:10)

Zechariah told Zerubbabel not to "despise ... small beginnings" (4:10). God had acted in the past for the ultimate good "of his people, even in the Babylonian exile (7:12-14; see 14:3). God would accomplish his purposes for Israel's well-being in his own way and time. The people of Israel could take courage in the present and have hope for the future because God keeps his word and fulfils his promises (4:9).

All humanity should be silent before the Lord, "for he is springing into action from his holy dwelling" (2:13). God wants patience and faith from his people, not a strident voice. God kept his word and fulfilled the promises he made through Zechariah by sending Jesus the Messiah into the world to bring salvation for all people. Jesus' word, that he will one day return and fully establish His kingdom, may also be trusted  (Matt 24.27,30, see Acts 1.6-11) .  


Prayer Points
›We are thanking God for His words that are true and amen
›We are praying for the Spirit of patience
›We are praying for the Spirit of faith
›We are praying for the Spirit of humility
› We are praying for the kingdom of God to come (Maranatha)
