“On that day Adonai their God will save them as the flock of His people; for they will be like gems in a crown, sparkling over his countryside.”
Zechariah 9:16 CJB

On that day, in that day or the day of the LORD are all terms used to let us know there is a day coming! That day, God will save, God will judge and God will make all things right, but not until that day which hasn’t arrived yet!

“But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me.”
Psalm 55:16 CJB

Until that day comes, we need to continue calling on to the LORD. We need to be communicating with Him continually.

“Adonai made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of disaster.”
Proverbs 16:4 CJB

Again, we need to understand, the world around us is fallen and the LORD will deal with it on His day of choosing! What we can do is rejoice in the LORD, knowing His day is coming soon and evil will be dealt with!
So may your day be richly blessed knowing God has got it covered!

“Adonai says, I am returning to Tziyon (Zion), and I will live in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). Then Yerushalayim will be called Truth City, Adonai-Tzva’ot’s (Lord Almighty) Mountain, the Mountain of the Holy One.”
Zechariah 8:3 CJB

This is good news for us to know that one day the LORD will make all things right and His city Jerusalem will be known as the City of Truth, because He is the God of truth! So no matter how things may look now, know the LORD is going to shine His light on the darkness, which will flee!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!”
Isaiah 5:20 CJB

Even though we see all the ugly, dark and insidious things going on around us we all need to be remind that the LORD is coming and will make all things right in His timing!

“Adonai is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid?”
Psalm 27:1 CJB

Today, understand no matter who is in charge or wins an election, Jesus is still in absolute control and we have nothing to fear!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“In the past Adonai-Tzva-ot said, Administer true justice. Let everyone show mercy and compassion to his brother.”
Zechariah 7:9 CJB

Nothing has changed. The LORD wants us to be just and merciful towards one another! Honestly, we all can be guilty of having a lack of justice, mercy and compassion towards others!

“Don’t oppress widows, orphans, foreigners or poor people. Don’t plot evil against each other.”
Zechariah 7:10 CJB

We all could look in the mirror and say we are guilty of one of these things! If so, take time to repent and make some corrections. The world around us could use a lot more compassion.

“How blessed are those who show mercy! For they will be shown mercy.”
Matthew 5:7 CJB

Jesus tells us if we show mercy we will receive mercy and we all could use some mercy! Today, let’s try to be kinder to one another and look for opportunities to share the good news of salvation instead of being judgmental!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Yes, He will rebuild the temple of Adonai; and He will take up royal splendor, sitting and ruling from His throne. There will be a Cohen (priest) before His throne; and they will accept each other’s advice in complete harmony.”
Zechariah 6:13 CJB

Understand when we read in the Bible about perfect peace and harmony, it’s speaking of the future kingdom that Jesus will be setting up! As we look around at the leaders of the world today, realize they are not the ones! No matter which guy you’ve voted for, understand they are not gonna set up anything even close to perfect, peaceful or united. Only the LORD can!

“A person whose desire rests on You, You preserve in perfect peace, because he trusts in You.”
Isaiah 26:3 CJB

Understand if we are looking for the perfect and godly society here on earth, we will be disappointed and disillusioned every time! What we need to be looking for is the LORD whose kingdom is not of this world!

“Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in Me. In My Father’s house are many places to live. If there weren’t I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also.”
John 14:1-3 CJB

Today, there are many things happening around us that can and do upset us! The LORD tells us not to worry, because He has all things under control, no matter what we may think! So don’t get all caught up in the world and its messes, but get caught up in the LORD instead!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Again, I raised my eyes, and saw in front of me a flying scroll. He said to me, what do you see? I replied, I see a flying scroll thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.”
Zechariah 5:1-2 CJB

How crazy to see a flying scroll in the sky, but God uses whatever He can to get our attention! Its is believed that the flying scroll is the word of God, spread out for all to see! Especially we who believe! We need to take in His word, learn His word and share His word!

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

We really need to be lovers and doers of the word of God! Sharing it as often as we can! The other thing we can see in these verses is, God can do things that we think are odd or make no sense, like a having a flying scroll in the sky!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

So today, if things seem odd, or something God is allowing to happen seems strange to us. It just maybe the LORD is giving us an opportunity to take in and share His word with someone!
Have a blessed day in Him.
