7-Step QT Notes

1. 🙏 Quiet Time

Pause.
Take a deep breath.
Ask God to help you see His holiness and trust His power above all fears.

2. 📅 October 15, 2025

Today’s passage reminds us:
God is holy, powerful, and worthy of our reverent silence.

3. ✝️ Zechariah 2:1–13

Zechariah sees a man measuring Jerusalem, and God declares His protective presence over His people. In verse 13, the Lord calls all flesh to be silent—because He has risen from His holy dwelling. This is not just poetic; it’s a warning and a comfort. God is not distant. He is active, holy, and near.

4. 📖 Key Verse

“Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” (v. 13)

5. 📝 Reflection

There’s a Korean proverb: “A puppy doesn’t fear a tiger.” It speaks of ignorance and arrogance. Today, many live as if God doesn’t exist—mocking truth, trusting only in human knowledge. But Zechariah reminds us: God is not asleep. He has risen.

For young adults facing fear, confusion, or pride, this is a wake-up call. God is holy. He is moving. And He is worthy of awe.

So, what do you fear today? Let it be the Lord—not in terror, but in reverent trust. He is with you, and He is building something far greater than you can see.

6. 💬 What does this passage speak to you today?

7. 🙏 Prayer

Lord, You are holy and powerful.
Help me to be silent before You—not out of fear, but out of awe.
Teach me to trust Your presence more than my own understanding.
Amen.

Scriptures

📖 1  And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! 2 Then I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.” 3 And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him 4 and said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and livestock in it. 5 And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”

6 Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north, declares the LORD. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the LORD. 7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. 8 For thus said the LORD of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye: 9 “Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me. 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the LORD. 11 And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. 12 And the LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.”

13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling (Zech 2:1-13, ESV).
