Trust And Obey

Although the book of Haggai is addressed to Israel, every part of Scripture is profitable for all of God's children, and there is much that we, Christians, can learn from this punchy little book, which shows the value that God places on godly service and humble obedience, even when circumstances are difficult and dangerous.
May we set our hearts to trust and obey the inspired Word of God and be careful to follow every instruction that has been given to the Christian Church in the New Testament and may we learn all He wants to teach us throughout the Holy Scripture - both Old and New.
We should strive to put Christ in His rightful place in our lives and prioritize those things which are important to the Lord. Let's be those that build up the body of Christ collectively, we are being built into a spiritual Temple for His greater glory. We should always evaluate our own personal lives - to see if there is anything that dishonors the Lord.
Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing history of Your people and the wonderful way that You use them to teach us spiritual truths and warn us of the dangers of disobedience or carelessness in our Christian lives. Thank You that we have the Holy Spirit and are living stones in the spiritual Temple of God, which is being built up for Your eternal glory. May we live and work for Your everlasting praise, and keep us from wasting the precious time we have left, or shelving important spiritual things for the sake of the urgent!!! Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
