Grace for your spirit November 23, 2009

Grace for your spirit
Thus has the LORD of hosts said, 'Dispense true justice and practice kindness and compassion each to his brother;and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.' Zechariah 7:9-10
The exiles that had returned from Babylon had questions for the Lord. They wanted worship information. When should we fast and pray? God wanted their worship to motivate them to do right, practice kindness, and compassion to their brothers. Further, to take care of those they met in need, including widows, orphans, strangers and the poor. Flush the evil out of your hearts and do good. They got more of an answer that they wanted. They only wanted fasting and prayer information, and didn't want to hear God's instructions. We can fall into the same pattern when we are only interested in what we want. Our answer will not satisfy and we will not be blessed. Listen to the full answer from the Lord.


The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
