”Many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the Lord of Armies in Jerusalem and to plead for the Lord’s favor.” The Lord of Armies says this: “In those days, ten men from nations of every language will grab the robe of a Jewish man tightly, urging: Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”“
Zechariah 8:22-23 CSB
In this chapter God is telling His people what the end will be like. He is giving them a view of the far future where all the people of the world are blessed by His rule and reign. Everyone sees clearly that God is blessing His people and wants to participate in receiving that blessing.
There should be some of this going on today. We have been blessed by God through Salvation and it is available to the whole world. Salvation from the penalty of sin is wonderful, but along with that God the Holy Spirit lives with us. The people around us should see something different about how we live, the joy we experience and even the way we endure trials…it should look significantly different than the way of the lost.
Lord, help me to live in a way that helps the lost long for peace with God! I pray that my life openly, both good and bad, highlights your goodness and grace. Give me opportunities to demonstrate Your love and boldness to walk confidently into them. Help the blinded to see their own need and the solution in You!
