Haggai 2:4 But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
Lord, Thank You for speaking to my heart this morning. You know the task before me. You know I feel unequal to it. Thank You for sending me these words of encouragement. Help me to take them to heart, to be strong, to know, to trust that You are with me.
Haggai 2:5 ‘This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.’
Lord, Thank You for the reminder that ultimately, everything I do is for Your glory. Help me to work diligently for the good of others but to never lose sight of the fact that ultimately, everything I do is for You. Help me not to fear my own inadequacies and to concentrate on the task at hand and on bringing You glory.
Haggai 2:9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
Lord, Thank You for the reminder that it is not about me, it’s about You. Thank You for the reminder that I am Your hands and feet. Help me to keep my heart tied to Yours. Give me strength, wisdom, and guidance to help the people You place in my path. Help me to glorify You in all I do. Amen.
Haggai 2:19b …“ ‘From this day on I will bless you.’ ”
Have a blessed day.
