‘Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming and I will live among you,’ declares the Lord (Zechariah 2:10).
You could say these days, we have the world at our fingertips. As we look into a screen and press a few buttons on our devices, we can transport ourselves across the globe or invite others into our own homes or work environments. This technology has proven invaluable in recent times. But it is not the same as being together in person.
Hugging a loved one, playing with a grandchild, sharing the same air. Connection. But still, cherished moments melt away far too quickly if they only last for a holiday visit.
But when someone comes to stay – to really stay – it’s different.
Today’s text is one of delight – perhaps relief – and hope. God is coming to town, and he’s going to stay! After so much longing and eager anticipation, he will be with his people. Doubt crushed, insecurity gone, relationship as it was always intended. His presence felt and experienced like never before. Together. Shout and be glad, sons and daughters! He is coming! How might this knowledge influence your day today?
Dear Lord, lift my eyes today, above my circumstances, to you. To your love, your promises and the hope I have in you. I thank and praise you for all that you are! In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
