Zechariah: Keep your hands strong

Here's a principle I considering: The prophecies of the Lord considering future blessing of His people, shall allow His people to stay strong on their current walk. I need to meditate more with the context of what "Let your hands be strong."

In Zechariah 8:9:

Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets who were present on the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of host was laid, that the temple might be built.

In Zechariah 8:11-13

But now I will not deal with remnant of this people as in the former days, declares the Lord of hosts. for there shall be a sowing of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong
