In this chapter, we learned about how God is always on the side of his people, the Israelites. Zechariah had visions where angels and even Jesus himself spoke to him. We also discovered that God has a purpose for his people. He wanted them to come closer to him so that he could show them what that purpose was. Even though they faced many obstacles, God wanted to bring prosperity to them. Additionally, the nations that caused suffering and hardship to the Israelites will soon be judged for their actions.

Today, let us remember the powerful words, "Draw near to God and he will draw near to you," as stated in James. Drawing near to God strengthens our dependence, stability, and assurance, as we trust in the creator of our life who always knows what is best for us.
