Zechariah 10:1-2 -- On Shepherds and Rain

"Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd."
Zechariah 10:1-2


I like that we can ask God for rain, and the contract here with God vs. Idols, which can't do anything and don't take care of anyone.

There are times in our lives when we seek comfort and want someone to comfort us and tell us that it is okay. It is tough to face the world alone. With God we don't need to. Even when everything else doesn't work or falls through, God is there to comfort and help us. He knows the good that comes after the bad and the better opportunity that comes after the failure. He can call the rain or calm the storm. Let's trust the shepherd rather than lies and false dreams.
