## Title: Peace is on the way ## Scripture: (Zechariah 3:10) “In that day,’ says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, ‘everyone will invite his friend to fellowship under his vine and under his fig tree.’”” (NET) ## Observation: The nation of Israel is not in a current era of peace. They have an uphill battle of reclaiming their land, cleaning up from 70 years of overgrowth, and rebuilding the temple. However, the Lord promises that on the other side of the uphill journey, peace is coming. This is good for us to remember as well. The journey toward freedom takes time. It is uphill. It is not always easy. However, on the other side of the journey, there is peace. Don’t give up. Don’t quit. The arrival is worth the journey. ## Application: Where do you need to take a deep breath, keep calm, and carry on? The Lord is in control. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always leading us in the right direction.
