That Day

Zechariah 3:10 - “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the LORD Almighty.”


Isaiah 2:20 - In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.

Zechariah 4:1,6-7,10,14 - Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep…So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”… “Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”… So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”

Application:

· Do I see the futility of worshiping idols?
· Do I understand the obstacles that face me are not overcome by conventional resources? Do I understand my resources come from an outpouring of God’s Spirit?
· Do I realize faith in the power of God’s Spirit can overcome mountainous obstacles, including opposition and unwillingness to persevere?
· God’s work may start in small and unobtrusive ways, yet reach a glorious conclusion!!! God oversees the whole earth and is therefore in control of every situation!!!
· Do I serve the Lord of all the earth?
