Week 5: The Best is Yet to Be: God's Promise Through Haggai
God's Promise: " The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house." (Haggai 2:9 NIV)
My Promise: I will make God's work my work
The enemy didn’t use big events to sidetrack you. Instead he bumped you off target over time. Little by little, you lost focus. Big things became small. Small things became big. It used to be different. There was a moment or a season where you put God first. You gave your heart to God and your energy to his plan. But then came… life. Hobbies became habits, and habits became escapes. Kids’ activities started to dominate your schedule. The promotion sure helped, but longer hours and business trips stole away your margin. With each passing day you thought less about God’s work and more about yours. The kingdom was for tomorrow, so the tyranny of today trumped eternity. You didn’t forget God, but you didn’t remember him either. You can relate to the people of Haggai’s day. It’s time to remember. It’s time to repent and do an about-face. It’s time to return to your first love.
Unshakable Hope Declaration
We are building our lives on the promises of God. Because his Word is unbreakable, our hope is unshakable. We do not stand on the problems of life or the pain in life. We stand on the great and precious promises of God.
About this Plan
When life shifts toward struggles or pain or disappointment, where do you turn? When uncertainty invades or sorrow seeps in, where do you look for answers? Here’s a suggestion: turn to one of over 7,000 biblical reminders of God’s care, concern, and guardianship. God, both promise-maker and promise-keeper, “has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4 NIV). Through this reading plan, we’ll become well acquainted with many of these promises and learn to rely on them in every turn of life. Unshakable Hope-Courage is the second installment of a three part series. Part 1 is titled Unshakable Hope-Strength.
