The messianic prophecy of Zechariah looks ahead to the day when the LORD will save His people. People from all over the world will go to different places to find God's wonderful kindness. God's people will remember one thing very well: "Let's go look for God's presence. Why don't you come along with me?" As Christians, we know that Jesus came to earth, suffered, and rose from the dead. We are sure that everyone who truly knows Jesus and follows Him will be saved. Let's invite people to the great party of grace and redemption that will happen when Christ comes back for us.

Prayer

Dear Daddy, Every day, I pray for you to be with me. Without your direction, love, holiness, and truth, I would be lost and confused. I can't wait to meet you in person as your child because I know you control my future. Please tell me where I can find people who are looking for you but don't know who you are. Please let me see them, hear their cries, and help them with your grace. Use me to get them ready to meet you when your Son comes on the great Day of Redemption. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
