The Zeal of the Lord of Hosts Will Do This

Scripture: “The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” —Isaiah 9:7c (ESV)

Devotional: This Kingdom doesn’t rise and fall with human effort. It’s not powered by politics, culture, or charisma. It’s God’s idea, God’s plan, and God’s doing. The zeal of the Lord…His passion, His faithfulness, His relentless love…will make it all happen.

That means we’re invited to rest in His work even as we participate in His purposes. The weight of the Kingdom is on His shoulders, not ours. Our job is trust. Obedience. Worship. Surrender.

Reflection: Are you trying to carry what only Jesus can shoulder? How might your faith shift if you really believed the Lord will do this?

Prayer Direction: Release your burdens to God today. Thank Him that the Kingdom is not yours to build, but His. Ask for renewed trust in His zeal and His ability to finish what He starts.
