Some Encouragement from Zechariah

Today I was reading in Zechariah, and there are SO many wonderful scriptures in it! They make me have such comfort and strength in God!! So I thought I would share some (or a lot!) hehe :)

1:17 "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.' "

2:10 " 'Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,' declares the Lord."

2:13 "Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling."

3:4 "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put righ garments on you."

4:6 " 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty."

7:9 "Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another."

8:7-8 " 'I will save my people from the countries of the est and the west. I will bring them back to live in Jerusalem; they will be my people, and I will be faithful and righteous to them as their God.' "

8:12-13 "The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew. I will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people. . .so will I save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong."

9:10 "He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth."

9:12 "Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you." :)

9:16-17 "The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of His people. They will sparkle in His land like jewels in a crown. How attractice and beautiful they will be!

10:3 "for the Lord Almighty will care for His flock, the house of Judah, and make them like a proud horse in battle."

10:6 "I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them."

10:12 "I will strengthen them in the Lord and in His name they will walk, declares the Lord."

12:10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication."

Wow! Aren't these amazing?? I recommend checking out the book of Zechariah for yourself too! There is so much grace and encouragement from God in it! :)

Today, if you are facing a struggle of any kind, or even if you aren't, keep God's Word in your heart and meditate on it constantly! God gave it to you for a reason, and He is truly alive in it! God's Word really helps me, and I know it will help you too! :o)
