In One Day

 

Zechariah 3:9

For behold, the stone That I have laid before Joshua: Upon the stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ Says the LORD of hosts, ‘And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Two words that so simple, yet has such an impact. 

One day.

In one day you can go from being single to being married.

In one day you can be carrying a child in your arms for the first time.

In one day you can see your dream become a reality.

In one day you can also experience lost.

One day.

As I was reading Zechariah, the last part of that scripture pierced my heart.  He removes the sin of the land in one day.  He did by the cross.

In one day Jesus took on our sins.

In one day Jesus was acquainted with sorrow and grief.

In one day Jesus redeemed us.

In one day he fulfilled the old and birth the new covenant.

Just in one day he made away that can change men lives forever!

 

Just think about how HE can change things in one day.

 

 

 

God Is Already in Our Tomorrows

 

 

I was reading a passage about King Herod built this huge fortress on top of the Masada Mountain where it could space 10,000 soldiers.  Years later, David found himself fleeing from Saul.  In Psalms 18:2 David writes:

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

As David was writing this, he was hiding in the desert where he set up camp near natural mountain fortress in the wilderness.  The Hebrew word for fortress is Metzod which in English means Masada.  So, the mountain where King Herod built was where David was.  What a tangible representation of God’s protection in David’s time of need (Adamson, Dave. 52 Hebrew Words, p 107)

This reminded me how God is already in our tomorrows, so we can already praise Him in our today.

Be encouraged.
