Zechariah
If you've never done this, read the book of Zechariah all the way through in one sitting. It will do two things:
- spur you on to further study of prophecy, and
- show you that God is still VERY active in the world.
You can't watch the news these days without seeing a tidbit or two about the Middle East. Sure, there are many "important" world events every day, but the Bible is clearly focused on that one area of the world. So the Middle East is the place to watch.
Just because it's in the news every day, does that prove that God cares and is still involved? Well, "proof" is a very funny subject, I suppose, with all sorts of connotations because of our "scientific" culture. But it's enough to capture my attention - to bring me back to long-term "reality," as I escape the short-term "reality" of working, eating, sleeping, etc.
Maybe God has set eternity in my heart...Ecc. 3:11.
