Friday – Prophets

Reading – Zechariah 1-2

Highlight Verse:

“In November of the second year of King Darius’s reign, the Lord gave this message to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah and grandson of Iddo:”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

In researching today’s verse, I was reminded that Zechariah means “the Lord remembers.”

(Thanks to enduringword dot com).

November is just after a couple of Hebrew holidays in which God’s people celebrated specifically remembered their roots.

For us, it is going into a season full of special memories.

For me, the holiday season is full of the best memories of my childhood.

For many, the season carries some very sad or hurtful memories.

For the Lord, the word “remember” takes on a deeper meaning.

He remembers our hurts and pain and brings healing.

He didn’t forget the Hebrew people.

He won’t forget us.

Does it help you to remember how much God remembers you?
What traditions do you observe to help remember what God did for us?
