Today, I am reading and commenting on  Zechariah 7-10.

Zechariah writes what God had asked of His people through the prophets who preceded him…and as I have read through the Bible I have seen that this was indeed what those prophets had said.  God had called on them to administer true justice, show mercy to one another, and not oppress the fatherless, the widow, the foreigner, or the poor.    Then Zechariah writes that the people should not be afraid because God once more intends to do good for them, for us.  All that He asks is that we speak the truth to each other, render true and sound judgment, do not plot evil against each other, and do not swear falsely.  So, God’s message did not change.  If we do as God commands, people from all nations will join us in seeking the Lord and we will need have no fear.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
