Zechariah 1- Peace and Contentment

 ”“Proclaim further: This is what the Lord of Armies says: My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the Lord will once more comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.”“

‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

The prophet Zechariah is having multiple short visions and being compelled to share them with Gods people.  He tells them of Gods frustration that His people will not turn and how their choices directly correlate to the destruction they are experiencing.

But then God reminds them of His true hope and their destination: comfort and blessing!  God has not changed and does want us to experience blessing, but we can only do that while fully surrendered to Him!

Lord help me to stay soft to your leading, help me to follow you at every step.  Being near you brings great joy and contentment regardless of the circumstances I am in, so help me to draw near!
