Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Zechariah 3:1-7

1Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
2And the LORD said to Satan: “The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand snatched from the fire?”
3Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
4So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”
5Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.
6Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:
7“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.

Do not get so used to the old that you fail to experience the new. Old clothes are comfortable and you get so used to them you do not realize how good new clothes are. Life is like that too.

Tattletales, the Devil, and You

Satan wants to make sure you get what's coming to you. Not God. Satan wants to tattle on us to God so we get what we deserve. God will not let him. Instead, he forgives our sin.
