Zechariah 11 - 14
Inspired thots
The time is coming when the Lord would act against the nations that cause suffering to His people. He shall cause wars and plagues to fall on those who are rebellious and merciless on His people. A great and awesome battle is in store; how it would really be no one knows except the Lord.
God's people would be cleansed and readied to be received into glory. But is it the end or more to come? People would go to Jerusalem to worship? The things of God are hard to understand. Lord, let faith arise.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

The Lord is with His people
Zechariah 9 & 10
Inspired thots
Throughout the chapters, the presence of the Lord is with His people. He never left them despite the troubles they go through even if they did not know it or feel His presence. Our Almighty God is always watching and waiting; His will and plans are perfect. He fights for His people; victory is for sure.
What a great and mighty God we have! We are safe under His hand.

Entreat the FAVOR of the LORD
Zechariah 7 & 8
Inspired thots
The wise and discerning would entreat the favor of God if they understand His greatness and majesty. There is truly no one like Him.
God is always loving and kind; regardless of how His people mistreat Him. They fast and seek His favor but do not obey His call. No wonder God is angry. How dare we treat God like a genie or santa claus. But He is always merciful and gracious to forgive and restore. Thank You Lord.

Chosen for Service
Zechariah 5 & 6
Inspired thots
What a great privilege to be chosen to understand the deep things of God! Yet, with every heavenly revelation, there must be Obedience. Chosen to understand leads to Obedience to participate in the divine plans of God; a great privilege that must not be abused.
If Judgment is impending, we should forewarn others to repent;
If a task is given, we should be ready to put our hands to the plow;
If an instruction, we should immediately obey.

Visions & Symbols
Zechariah 3 & 4
Inspired thots
It is not easy to understand the things of God; heavenly visions and symbols from the Lord even with explanations can be hard to grasp. But God is good and merciful; He not only reveals His plans through visions and symbols to encourage His people; He is patient and loving to explain and bear with us until we get it.
What is OUR response? Little by little, bit by bit.... we shall understand as we meditate, mull and ponder over what the Lord reveals... for... "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." Matt 4:4

The GATHERING of People
Zechariah 1 & 2
Inspired thots
What an Amazing God who shares what is to come! Good and Bad! He knows it all. He will not let His beloved be forsaken; He is merciful to nations that will come before Him; bud-grafted into His kingdom. That's me and the Gentile church! Hallelujah.
God shall gather His people to Himself in due time. Truly our thoughts are not His thoughts; and neither are His ways our ways. We will have 1001 questions but the Lord works well in His own time. We cannot understand His plans fully even if He reveals.

A Call to REBUILD
Haggai 1- 2
Inspired thots
The Lord is calling His people to rebuild the temple which is badly neglected. People of God tend to care about their own things rather than the things of God but they do not realize that they would only face more want when they are self-centered than God-centered.
Today, we understand that our body is the temple of God too. We need to rebuild our body comprising soul, mind and spirit to God's likeness. "Be holy as I am holy" (1 Pet 1:16) and "Be perfect as Your Heavenly Father is perfect." (Matt 5:48) The time is coming when there will be more trials and tribulations; persecutions will come. God's people must be ready; prepare now. Start building into God.
