Read Zechariah 1-3
Zechariah 2:5 says, "For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her." I couldn’t help it—this verse reminded me of Christmas. The wall of fire round about reminded me of lights hung outside and all around—some folks get very elaborate with their outside decorations. The glory in the midst of her reminded me of the Christmas tree.
We have to move furniture around for the tree to be in a place of honor. We want to be able to see it and enjoy it for the duration of the season—season defined differently in different households. Decorating the tree is one event that brings the family together.
God’s fire round about is our protection He brings us. When we keep our eyes on Him, nothing can shake us. He is also the glory in our midst, at the very center of our lives. Inside and outside, He is everything for us.
