Zechariah 3 portrays the battle for us between Satan and the Lord. Satan accuses, Jesus rebukes. Is Satan chirping in your ear? Have you asked Jesus into your life, so He can rebuke the accuser for you?

Zechariah 2 reminds us that Jesus is coming again. After devastation, He will be a wall of fire, and His glory will be in our midst. Are you down and out? Do you need encouragement?

When we think of God, do we think of God getting angry? We know God is love, and God is a God of grace and mercy. But He is also a God who gets angry with evil and evil deeds. Will you return to the Lord?

Today, we finish the Book of Haggai, which is only two chapters. The backdrop for Haggai was in the time of Nehemiah and Ezra, as Nehemiah was back in Jerusalem trying to rebuild the walls, and Ezra was there trying to rebuild the temple. Haggai is the prophet at the time. Chapter 1 encouraged us to consider our ways. Did you? Chapter 2 encourages us to be strong in the Lord. Are you?

Haggai is short but powerful—just two chapters, making it the second shortest book in the whole Bible. Its focus? Rebuilding the Lord’s house. And here’s something interesting: in only 38 verses, Haggai calls God the “Lord of Hosts” 14 different times!

In Zephaniah 3, the end of the Book of Zephaniah, God appeals to His people to return to Him; come back. For the most part, they turn deaf ears to God. Have you strayed from a relationship with God? He begs you to come back. Will you?

In Zephaniah 2, we see the ups and downs of faith, yo-yo Christianity. Is your walk with the Lord up and down or consistent? Is there a way to smooth out your walk with Jesus?

The minor prophet Zephaniah paints a picture of God’s wrath in a way few prophets have the courage to do. It is not a popular subject, but it is a certainty in God’s Word.

Habakkuk questioned God and heard from the Lord in chapters 1 and 2. Here in chapter 3, he wants to see a demonstration of God’s wrath and mercy. He closes with praise to the Lord. Do you turn your complaints to God eventually to praise?

In Habakkuk 2, God answers the questions from Habakkuk in chapter 1, and Habakkuk has a few more complaints for God in chapter 2. After you pray, are you patient for God to answer? How long do you wait?

The first two chapters of Habakkuk are his complaints, or his “prayers” to God, and God’s replies, which puzzle Habakkuk. That may happen to you too; from time to time, as you pray, you are puzzled by God’s answers.

Today, we conclude the Book of Nahum. Nahum graphically describes the fall on Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. Are you on the right or wrong side of God?

In the second chapter of the Book of Nahum, God turns His sight on judging Nineveh, like He told the prophet Jonah He would do. Have you thought you heard from the Lord, but nothing happened? Is God teaching you patience?

Nahum is a sequel to the Book of Jonah. Nahum was God’s messenger to announce the fall of Nineveh, the arrogant capital of the Assyrian Empire. This message of coming judgment from the Lord was certain and irrevocable.

Micah 7 is a beautiful balance of God’s judgment and His restoration. He does both. Are you suffering under His judgment? Pray for restoration. Have you been restored? Shout the Hallelujah!

In Micah 6, God asks what He has done to weary us in our relationship with Him. He also outlines what He requires of us. How is your personal relationship with God? Are you energetic, or weary? Are you acting on what He requires of you?

Micah 5 tells us exactly where the Messiah would be born. It is one of the most exciting prophecies about Jesus in the whole Old Testament. God picked Bethlehem before the foundations of the earth! He had a plan for your redemption from the very beginning. Did you know that? Have you accepted it?

Micah 4 describes what Judah was facing then. It was their “now”. He also projects what will come to pass in the future; our “then”. Some of what he prophesied has come to pass, but much is still to come. Do you long for peace on earth? Do you hope for a day without war?

Micah 3 is an explanation of why prayers go unanswered. Do you struggle with your prayer life? Do your prayers go unanswered?

In Micah 2, there are numerous warnings to Judah because they do not want to hear from God. Do you want to hear from God? Does your church preach the Word of God? Are you listening?
