With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands,and encourage those who have weak knees. Say to those with fearful hearts,“Be strong, and do not fear,for your God is coming to destroy your enemies.He is coming to save you.”

The people of Israel will stand up to their foes,and all their enemies will be wiped out.

I  will destroy all your idols and sacred pillars,so you will never again worship the work of your own hands. I will abolish your idol shrines with their Asherah poles and destroy your pagan cities. I will pour out my vengeance on all the nations that refuse to obey me.”

Lord God my Father,

Allow me to rest in your truth that your plan will lead to your glory. Use me as you wish to do your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
