Scripture

Zechariah 14:1-21; Revelation 20:1-15; Psalm 148:1-14; Proverbs 31:8-9

Observation

“On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem… The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and His name the only name.” Zechariah 14:8a-9

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:8-9

Application

God gives each one of us opportunities to “speak for those who cannot speak for themselves,” to represent the “rights of all who are destitute,” and to “defend the rights of the poor and the needy.” The challenge is to not only recognize these opportunities but also to act upon them and be Christ’s tangible presence on earth.

Prayer

“Lord, help me to seize the opportunities You send my way. May I not miss the chance to see You through encounters with those who are in need.”
