Scripture:
““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 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.”
Zechariah 12:10 NLT
Observation:
God has had an overall plan from the beginning of time. He knew Israel and Judah would reject Him, and eventually kill His own Son. He knew in the end, though, that Israel will once again realize what they had done to the Son of God and turn back to Him. Israel has been cut off for a season, but when the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, His people will return to Him and He will work with them again.
Application:
If God knows the details of a nation thousands of years ahead of time, He also knows the details of our lives. He knows. He understands. He sees what is going on each day. He has a plan and we can trust Him in that. Our place is to seek Him and walk in accordance with His plan. We need to see what He is doing and work with Him to accomplish it. We will be blessed in doing it.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, You are incredible, all-knowing, all-powerful, and are present everywhere. Nothing goes on without You knowing about it. Nothing surprises You. I want to walk in step with You and serve Your purposes, which You are bringing to pass in the earth. You will accomplish them with or without me, but I want to be part of fulfilling Your purposes.
Yours,
Jeff
