[:en]SCRIPTURE: ZECHARIAH 10
“I will strengthen Judah and save the tribes of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them. They will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them” (Zechariah 10:6)
“I will signal for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before” (Zechariah 10:8)
“I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there will not be room enough for them. They will pass through the sea of trouble; the surging sea will be subdued and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. Assyria’s pride will be brought down and Egypt’s scepter will pass away” (Zechariah 10:10-11)
“I will strengthen them in the Lord and in his name they will live securely, declares the Lord” (Zechariah 10:12)
THE LORD WILL CARE FOR JUDAH (vs. 1-12)
The people wandered like sheep being oppressed because they lacked a good shepherd to take care of them. The Lord Almighty will return to be their shepherd and make them like a proud horse in battle. They will become mighty men trampling the muddy streets in victory.
God will save the house of Judah. He will have compassion on them and restore them. Their children will be joyful and their hears will rejoice in the Lord. God will surely redeem them from Egypt and Assyria and bring them to Gilead and Lebanon. God will strengthen them and they will walk in His name.
APPLICATION:
When you are in trouble, seek the Lord. Ask Him to give you strength. Fear not, for God will guide you to overcome and win your battle.
