Haggai 2:1-9

There is a lot to unpack in this scripture but the bottom line for me is that in this life we will be tempted to assimilate to the forces of this world. God’s reign is never ending, and it is always wise to stand firm and seek His will for us. If we persevere to the end, we will receive our portion.

Sometimes life is a gentle stream and at other times it is a raging torrent but no matter what God’s love is unfailing. If you are like me there are times when you are tempted to believe that faith isn’t enough. When I was young my Uncle Stanley taught me to float on my back, the key was to relax.

When anxiety fills your life and you feel like you’re sinking relax, the tomb is empty, He is risen!

How is your prayer life? It’s 21 inches from the soles of my feet to my knees (meaning God is always close by). What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
