Good morning church family.

In Zechariah 2, we see a vision of a man measuring Jerusalem trying to define its size and limits. But God interrupts with a powerful message:

Zechariah 2:4-5
“Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it. And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’”

This is powerful!

The people were thinking in terms of limits, safety, and structure… but God was saying:
* You won’t need walls when I am your protection.
* You won’t need boundaries when I am your covering.

Sometimes we try to “measure” our lives:
– Our future
– Our calling
– Our resources

But God is not limited by what we see or understand.

* Where we see lack… God sees expansion.
* Where we feel exposed… God says, “I am your wall of fire.”

He doesn’t just protect from a distance, He surrounds, He covers, and He dwells among His people.

Zechariah 2:10
“Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord.

This is the heart of the message:
God’s greatest promise is not just provision or protection…
It’s His presence.

Teaching Points:
* Stop limiting what God wants to expand
* Trust God as your protector, not just your plans
* Value His presence above everything else

Encouragement:
You are not exposed.
You are not alone.
God Himself is your covering, your defender, and your glory within.

Today, walk boldly knowing:
* God surrounds you
* God defends you
* God dwells with you

Be encouraged and stay in His presence
