Zechariah 14:3

In the quiet hush of dawn, Christ first came. He came not with the roar of a Lion but with the tender grace of a Lamb, walking amongst us in humility and love. But Zechariah’s prophecy regarding the second triumphant return of Jesus is very different. For this time He will come not as the gentle and humble Lamb, but as the fierce Lion of Judah, majestic and mighty. Oh how the anticipation swells within our hearts, knowing that we shall ride alongside Him! On white chargers, our souls ablaze with the fire of righteousness, we too will return. For we will be given the honor and privilege to be counted among the ranks of God’s mighty army. Standing firm in the face of darkness, wielding the sword of truth, we will march boldly for the Lord. So as the days grow short until the dawn of His return, let us lift our voices in joy! Because we are chosen to stand shoulder to shoulder with the King of Kings, as His faithful warriors in the battle for righteousness and redemption.

And in response, God struck the arrogant king with leprosy. Shunned, all alone, and banned from God’s temple, the once mighty ruler died alone. We would do good to remember the only power we have in this world is what is given to us through God. And He alone deserves all the glory. Because only through Him are we able to accomplish anything good and lasting. And in humility, we are to use the gifts He gives us not to increase our pride, but His kingdom.

The Rainbow After The Storm – Jeremiah 30-33

Jeremiah 30-33

Up until now Jeremiah’s prophecies have been filled with gloom and despair. Now in this section, called the “The Book of Consolation”, the prophet poetically describes the restoration of Israel and Judah after the time know as “Jacob’s distress” (vs. 30:7). He relays God’s promises to return the people to their land, reunite them as a nation, establish with them a new covenant, and through them, bless the world with our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. …
