daily reading 25.5 (Zechariah 7:13–14)

 5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023

Our opening prayer for this Easter week:

I plead my innocence;
Give heed, Lord, to my cry
And listen to my prayer which comes
From lips that do not lie.

Lord, vindicate me soon,
That you may see the right;
I pray you, try and weigh my heart
And search my soul at night.

Melt down my soul and see
There is no wickedness;
I heed the words you speak, O Lord,
That I may not transgress.

I follow step by step
The way that you command,
And in the pathway that I walk
You guide me by your hand.

I call upon you, Lord,
For you will answer me;
I pray that you will hear my words,
Give ear, Lord, to my plea.

When enemies arise,
O Savior, let me see
Your loving-kindnesses again,
Preserve me, set me free.

My Savior, keep me as
The apple of your eye;
Beneath the shadow of your wings
In safety let me lie. Amen.

Zechariah 7:13–14

  • "Just as he had called, and they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen, says the LORD of Armies.
  • 14 "I scattered them with a windstorm over all the nations that had not known them, and the land was left desolate behind them, with no one coming or going. They turned a pleasant land into a desolation."
