“Be ye not as your fathers… (6) But, my words
and my statues, which I commanded, did they not take hold of your fathers?...” Zech 1:4; 6
God’s
children held on or possessed everything but the truth and refused to turn
towards God. Causing Zechariah to remind them in vs 6, all that God prophesied
took hold of their fathers. Be cautious to never hold on to anything stronger
than you do Jesus. Life can be compared to going grocery shopping while hungry,
enticed to grab what looks good rather than what we need. Know that what you
hold to holds you; be it temporal relationships, careers, money or even a
ministry can hold you back from what you need to posses the most, Jesus. For the
rich young ruler he chose to hold to the wrong possessions (Mt 19) and missed eternal
wealth. The nails did not hold Jesus to
the cross, His love for you did. In the
same manner don’t allow the world to hold you, but rather His love for you; it’s
your greatest possession.
It
takes a lot more effort to hold than it does to be held!
