September 6 Scripture Meditations Based on Zechariah 9-14
Key Verse – Zechariah 9:15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them…
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR DEFENDING ME
Thank You for defending me against persecution
With Your assurance of salvation
That’s secured by Your protection
Making me strong midst sinfulness’ affliction.
Thank You for defending me against sorrow
With Your cheerfulness’ glow
That’s available with Your joy so thorough
Making me glad midst uncertainty of tomorrow.
Thank You for defending me against reproaches
With Your truth of devotion-searches
That’s ready every time Your Word preaches
Making me repentant midst correction as Your reproof teaches.
Thank You for defending me against hypocrisy
With Your standard of service-fervency
That’s achievable by Your mercy
Making me purposeful midst worldliness’ complacency.
Thank You for defending me against barrenness
With Your work of fruitfulness
That’s productive by Your faithfulness
Making me diligent midst slothfulness’ destructiveness.
Thank You for defending me against discouragement
With Your exhortation of contentment-fulfillment
That’s excellent by Your commitment
Making me dedicated midst backsliding’s enticement.
Thank You for defending me against unbelief
With Your wisdom of guidance giving ignorance-relief
That’s perfect by Your knowledge as Sovereign Chief
Making me settled midst doubtfulness’ grief.
