Wanderers to Purpose Driven People
Meditation from Zechariah Chapter 10
In this chapter the LORD speaks through the prophet about the latter rain, the second touch or revival that will help us to understand purpose of our life. We were wanderers without a Shepherd; we were direction-less and purposeless. (10:2)
The LORD,
Saves
Strengthens &
Shepherds (10:6)
And gives us purpose to become,
War-horses &
Warriors. (10:3b, 5a)
What a transformation! From wanderers to purpose filled life. From sheep to war-horse!
The purpose also comes with a Promise and Condition.
Promise: Waves of any kind will not subdue or destroy us, for the LORD Himself will struck them down. (10:11)
Condition: The purpose is fulfilled when we grow strong in the LORD and Walk in His name, that is, walk with God. (10:12)
We are not chosen to wander without purpose, but chosen for warfare against the spiritual forces. Our character should be like sheep, but we should serve like war-horses, because our calling is so.
Today's Intercession:
# Pray for the people who are prone to be affected by the winter.
# Lakhs of people live in the streets, without houses or people to care for them. Pray for their protection.
# Pray that they may get the necessary facilities to withstand the cold.
# Pray for our plans to buy and distribute woollen blankets for the poor and old people on the Rohtas Hills on 25th December.
# Pray that the needy people may be properly identified and for the LORD to strengthen us to be a blessing.
Have a blessed day!
