Today I read Zechariah 10, which foretells the redemption of the God’s people. God’s people will be strengthened and gathered. Today I considered that God allows us to face hardships because of our actions, but can bring us out of them stronger than before.

Israel’s Redemption

God strengthens His people, even when angry, and will call them back to Him (Zechariah 10:1-12). Diviners looking for signs and omens will see lies. God’s disobedient children will face battle and become like mighty men. God will call His children and gather them from Egypt, Assyria, and far countries. Then, God will strengthen His children to walk in His name. We should remember that God allows us to face hardship in our disobedience but can bring us out stronger and better able to do things in His name.

Questions and Thoughts for Today

What have you or someone you know done that you knew was wrong but facing the consequences made you stronger in your walk with God?
