Zechariah who?
I taught the University class Sunday on Zechariah. I am ashamed to admit it but it has been awhile since I read this great book, much less taught on it. It did remind me of one of my favorite passages in all of the Bible, Zechariah 3: 1-4. It is a scene of judgement when Satan stands ready to accuse one of God's servants. Go read it now. I love it when God rebukes Satan and says this man is a burning stick snatched from the fire. Then they take off the filthy garments (our sin) and put on rich garments. That's me at judgement...a man snatched out of the fire. I love that passage.
It's been a while since I preached that passage. Now I am going to use it lots and lots. I wonder how it dropped off my radar for a while. And what other great passages am I missing out on? Maybe we ought to take a moment and reflect back on the great passages from God's Word that we haven't thought of for a while.
Don't you have a passage that really speaks to you as this one does to me?
Share it with someone, and start with me. Maybe it speaks to me also.

In my constant quest to live in God's JOY, God led me to 2 Corinthians 2:14: "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him."
Triumphal procession --is a victory parade!! We win, and God is leading us in a parade, and the purpose of the parade is to spread the sweet aroma of what it means to know Him!! I truly love that verse and try to join in the victory parade every day!

Psalms 18:28
"Oh LORD, You light my lamp. My God turns my darkness into light."
This is the verse we have chosen for Levi. He is truly a LIGHT for our family, and such a symbol of our hope and God's love for us! God is 'shining' His love down for all of us to see.
Another favorite of mine is Titus 3:4-8.
