Zechariah 7-9

For 70 years the remnants of Judah mourned the destruction of Jerusalem. With the restoration work of the temple underway some of the remnant that had returned wondered what they should so. They sought God's guidance: keep the traditions or not. God's response through his prophet consisted of a series of questions. When we do something today we need to ask ourselves the same questions.  Are we doing it for ourselves or to honor God?
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
