Zechariah 1:1-5:11

What God said to me – “I AM” the Lord your God and you belong to Me.  You are My child and the apple of My eye.  Don’t worry when people come against you for whoever touches you touches the apple of My eye, and they will answer to Me.  Don’t worry when circumstances are difficult, or things happen that you can’t control for I have a plan that “I AM” carrying out.  Just as I protected “the seed” in Babylon and used Zerubbabel to lay the foundation of My temple, I will carry out My plan for your life and accomplish My purpose within you.  Never forget that it’s not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit that you will succeed.  “I AM” all you need.  Walk with Me and let Me show you.

Haggai 1:1-2:23

What God said to me – Give careful thought to your ways.  What are you doing that has eternal implications and what has temporal? Do you do more to build My house and My kingdom or yours?  Don’t spend so much time worrying about your own house but devote yourself to Mine.  I will take care of your house and multiply your time so you can get all your “stuff” done.  You spend your time building up My house so I will be glorified and lifted up.  Be strong and work as I direct for “I AM” with you.  Walk with Me and you will see My house filled with glory.

Zephaniah 1:1-3:20

What God said to me – I know that reading of My judgment is disturbing for you . . . that the death and destruction are upsetting to you.  You must look to Me and remember that “I AM” righteous and I do no wrong.  “I AM” merciful and I give the world every opportunity to receive that mercy.  Some do, but in the end, most will reject it because their hearts are bent on evil and at some point, judgment must follow . . . judgment will follow.  “I AM” righteous and I cannot and will not tolerate sin forever.  You look to Me.  You seek righteousness and humility and live and walk with Me.  Trust me to do what is right when the time is right.
