Watch 0002 - Hope Is The Future

01459 - Books of the Bible : Zechariah
Zechariah speaks into a time of rebuilding, when hope had grown thin, and progress felt slow. God sends visions and promises that lift the eyes of His people. Faith begins to rise not because circumstances instantly change, but because God reminds them that He is still at work beyond what they can see.
You will notice how God redirects their focus. He calls them away from relying on their own strength and invites them to trust His Spirit. This shift is where faith is formed. When you stop measuring everything by visible progress and start trusting God’s unseen work, your confidence becomes rooted in Him rather than in outcomes.
Scripture says, “You will not succeed by your own strength or power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty” (Zechariah 4:6 TLB). Faith grows when you depend on Him. What seems small or delayed is still under His hand.

Quote: Faith rises when you trust God beyond what you can see.

Prayer
Lord, help me trust Your Spirit and grow in faith through every season. Amen.

Action Point
Place one situation in God’s hands today and trust His unseen work.
We place Stambourne and Ridgewell Churches in your hands today Lord, and trust in Your guidance for the future in Jesus name. Amen

James Ryle thought for today includes these words..

"So, here’s a gift from me to you. A Christmas prayer, really. I wrote this to express not only what’s in my heart, but also in the hearts of millions throughout our world today.

Take the old tune “White Christmas” and sing the following words as an expression of your faith and hope during these Holy Days. And may this rise as a prayer to Heaven, which moves God to act on our behalf and answer it even while the words are on our lips!"

I’m praying for a Christ Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know.
May the Babe in the manger,
Always being friends with strangers,
And helping every needy soul.

I’m praying for a Christ Christmas
Just like it was that holy night.
May your days be filled with God’s light
And may all your Christmases have Christ.

May God bless your Christmas with Christ at the centre of your celebrations!
