Almighty Father, the mystery of your works creates in me a need to know You more. You raised up a branch from Jesse to be our Messiah and Savior. He is a righteous branch who reigns as King, deals wisely and executes justice. He is our High Priest and King. Hallelujah for your plan of salvation that washed me and set me on higher ground. Thank You in the name and authority of Jesus. I pray according to your good and perfect will. Amen.

“And say to him, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: for he shall branch out from his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there shall be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.'” (Zechariah 6: 12-13 ESV)
