“Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, ‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.'” But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord.”
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭24:20-21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because Zechariah says, “Thus says God, ‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper?”  Do we see disobedience as a hinderance to prosperity?  I’m tempted to disobey so I will prosper, but God loves us and wants obedience because He actually does know what’s best for us here and eternally. Please pray that we and our friends desire to obey God in every circumstance.  Please pray for Doug and Ransom’s group.
