This week we continue in Zechariah and are reminded of many things through this text:

1) The Lord will protect His people (vs 12-13)
2) The Lord will save His people (vs 14-15)
3) The Lord will shepherd His people (vs 16-17)

We are to return to our strongholds (do not flee!) and become prisoners of hope!

How easy is it to fall out of Hope? We must remember that God owns the victory and we are the benefactors. That He cares for us and keeps us gathered as a shepherd does his flock. We are the jewels in His crown!

How great is his love for us!!
