Zechariah 9-11, Revelation 1, Proverbs 24:5-14
Zechariah 10:1 (ESV)
“Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from
the Lord who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to
everyone the vegetation in the field.”
In Zechariah 10:1, the Old Testament prophet Zechariah
instructed the people who had returned from Babylonian exile to ask God the
Father for provision and blessing. The ancient Israelites depended on rain for
their survival and prosperity, so Zechariah urged them to seek rain from the
Lord. Because they had a covenant relationship with God, obedience to Him would
bring blessing—including the rain they desperately needed. Zechariah reminded
them that the Lord controls the natural world and that they must depend on Him
for everything.
I love this verse because it reminds me that, as a believer
in Jesus Christ, I depend on God the Father for all my needs. When I place my
faith in the Lord’s promises and trust that He will provide, I can pray boldly
and ask Him for whatever I lack. Father-God is sovereign and rules over all
creation, and I can expect His provision—sometimes in ways that feel
miraculous. Through my faith in Jesus Christ, I am in covenant relationship
with Him, and when I walk in obedience, I receive His blessings.
If this verse resonates with you—if you feel compelled to
place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One you can depend on for all your
needs—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him through
the following prayer and express your trust in Him. Share your desire to walk
with Him and welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to
meet you wherever you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit-filled, full-Gospel,
Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s
love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
