Daily Bible Reading, November 2022: “God’s Renewing Word of Thankfulness and Praise.”

DAY 10 OF 30

November 10

Introduction

Haggai was one of the prophets who urged the people to rebuild the Temple. The people had returned from exile in Babylonia (538 B.C.) and had lived in Jerusalem for nearly twenty years, but the Temple still lay in ruins. Haggai warns the people that their failure to rebuild the Temple has brought about the hardship they are experiencing but that these hard times will end once construction work begins.

Today’s Key Verse: Haggai 1:13
