🪨 Zechariah 6

Zechariah 6 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”” Zechariah 6 opens with these words: “Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of…” The line to keep is Zechariah 6:4: “Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”” Carry the word “asked” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Zechariah 6:4: “Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Zechariah 6? Then try this: Read “Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
