Zec 7:7 “Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity…”
Be careful what you wish or even pray for, personal prosperity often brings about personal problems. The Israelites had lost their sincerity in worship. Zechariah told them that they had been fasting without a proper attitude of repentance or worship. When we go to church, pray, fellowship are we doing these things from habit or personal gain? God says that such an attitude of worship will lead to ruin. Verse 12 states Jerusalem’s allowed their hearts to become an “adamant stone.” Any sin seems more natural the second time—as we become hardened, each repetition is easier; ignoring or refusing God's warning hardens our hearts more so each time we do wrong.
Are there parts of our heart and worship which are hardened? We must acknowledge a hard head and a hard heart are often synonymous… HSAY
