Keep Your Vision in Front of You

APR 16, 2024

Today’s Scripture

Zechariah 4:7, NIV

“What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”

Today’s Word

In Ezra 4, Zerubbabel was leading the Israelites who had returned from exile in rebuilding the temple. He laid the foundation, but then enemies came against him and forced him to stop. For ten years no work was done. Then the prophet Zechariah told him to get the capstone, which was reserved to be the last piece of stone that went into the building. Why was it important for Zerubbabel to keep the capstone in front of him? Because every time he was discouraged and thought it was impossible to finish the job, seeing it was a reminder that God would finish what He started. That was God saying to him, “I’m going to bring it to pass. Just stay in faith.”

What are you believing God for? Keep your vision in front of you. Find something that is symbolic of that dream, something that inspires your faith, and put it in a place where you see it every day. Every time you see it, say, “Thank You, Lord, for bringing my dreams to pass.” What you keep in front of you, you’re moving toward.

Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that the work You have started in my life will be brought to completion. Thank You that I will become everything You created me to be. Help me to keep the vision in front of me and to know that You are bringing my dreams to pass. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
