Zechariah 12:1-13:9, Revelation 19:1-21, Psalm 147:1-20, Proverbs 31:1-7
Pray: Father, help me to live like it is my last day on Earth even though I am destined to live forever. Help me keep my eyes on eternal things, things that really matter, and help me to be ready to either meet the Lord or have the Lord meet me.
Read: (Zechariah 12:10, 13) "Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem. They will look on me (Jesus) whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son who has died. All Israel shall mourn, each clan by itself, and with husbands separate from their wives." Isaiah 44:18 describes Israel as being unable to know or understand because God had shut their eyes and their hearts because they rebelled against His WORD and rejected His Son. But there is coming a day when the blind eyes of Israel will see. God will pour out His spirit on Israel and upon seeing they will grieve over what they have done and rejoice in God’s infinite mercy.
Edify: Psalm 147:2 declares that God is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. This passage was written hundreds of years before Christ and yet is taking place today, There was no Israel until 1948. And Jerusalem was divided into two cities until 1967. The desert is blossoming and the city is being restored. All in preparation for the great battle of the ages to come.
Practice: Pray for peace, but know there will be no peace until the Prince of Peace is crowned.
