Zechariah 1:12
Then the angel of the Lord said, “Lord Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?”

Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Mon, Aug 10, SEVENTY YEARS (Zech. 1:12). Seventy years are very long time. It is almost as long as our age. Most people live about seventy years. Some may live longer. The others live shorter. It is about the same as the whole time we have on earth. Can you imagine that the whole of your life time is full with pain? What about if the whole of your life time is full with suffering? What about if the whole of your life time never experience happiness? What about if your prayer never answered? What if your life today is the same as the life of Zechariah? Would you complain to God? Would you be angry? Leaving God? Don’t wanna pray anymore? Zechariah was used by God to serve in that time. In the time where there was no happiness at all. Shall we complain when we experience hardships today? It is the time that God wants to use us to serve him. To bring hope to the weary people. So let’s be strong. Always be spiritful. People may be blessed with our spirit and energetic life. Serving God not always have to be on the pulpit. We can serve God 24 hours a day if we be spiritful. -ash
