Zechariah

Humans are curious creatures. We always want to know why, how, when, what size? Our reading for today involves a man who wants to measure Jeruselem. Why? What does he want to accomplish with this information? Then an angel comes and tells him don't bother with the measurement, you don't need walls, God will protect the city. I'm not sure what this means???

Should we not be curious living our lives by faith alone? After all as Christians we believe that God is with us and will protect us. But God did create us, didn't he make us want to know more, question why things are?

In verse 4 the angel is telling the man that Jerusalem will be a city filled with people and animals that is why it does not need walls. Also that God will be a wall of fire around the city and will dwell with them. So maybe what this is telling us that when we are together as a group of people (can I say believers) he will be with us. We can be secure in that thought and hold onto his promise.

Not sure at all what chapter 5 is talking about.....

    During drive time to work I listen to WEZE 590AM. This morning one of the commentators spoke about how God's plan for us is crafted by Him and Him alone. We as human beings usually muck this up by attempting to stay in the driver's seat. Letting go and having complete faith in our Lord is one of the hardest challenges I undertake. The more I am able to have faith in God's destiny no matter what the situation the better of I am.
