TOPIC: Out on a Ledge
Should you not have obeyed the words which the Lord proclaimed through the former prophets when Jerusalem and the cities around it were inhabited and prosperous, and the South and the Lowland were inhabited?
Zechariah 7:7

Zechariah 7:7-12
Last October a national park ranger at the Grand Canyon saw a group of girls maneuvering over a sign that said, “DO NOT ENTER.” The girls crept onto a dangerous ledge to practice their yoga postures as the sun went
down. The exasperated ranger felt the same sort of concern the Lord feels when we maneuver over His warnings, rules, and commands.
In the book of Zechariah, some of the remnant who returned to Babylon asked Zechariah if they needed to continue to fast for the restoration of Jerusalem. Zechariah told them it was better to obey than to fast. He told them God expected them to show mercy and compassion to
their brothers.
It’s one thing to study the Bible and another to obey what it says. It’s not a religious routine that pleases God but heartfelt obedience. Is there an area in your life akin to maneuvering around one of God’s warning signs?
TURNING POINT
Obedience to the revealed will of God is often just as much a step of faith as claiming a promise from God.
