We have heard that God is with you

The last verse of today’s first reading (Zechariah 8:20-23) ends in an intriguing and challenging way:

Thus says the LORD of hosts:
In those days
ten men of every nationality,
speaking different tongues,
shall take hold,
yes, take hold of every Jew by the edge of his garment
and say,
“Let us go with you,
for we have heard that God is with you.”

Here is the challenge: do people say the same of us?

Do we do or say anything that would lead people to believe that God is with us?

Do we do or say anything that would lead people to believe that we can help them draw closer to God?

Perhaps we should do more.
