But now the LORD says: Be strong, Zerubbabel. Be strong, Jeshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people still left in the land. And now get to work, for I am with you, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised when you came out of Egypt. So do not be afraid.  Haggai 2:4-5

We are so thankful for a Faithful Father who is always with us. We may wonder how we are going to make it through with the work He has assigned to our hands. We may not know how we will have the strength to continue when times are tough. Our passage today is reminder of God’s promises to us through the Prophet Haggai. He encourages God’s servants to be strong and to get to work. God is with us. Although our instincts may be to become weary and fearful but our God is a great and He is with us every step of the way.

But now don’t be discouraged, any of you. Do the work, for I am with you  when you came out of Egypt, I promised that I would always be with you. I am still with you, so do not be afraid.  Haggai 2:4-5 

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 a

We serve a mighty God who loves us.  His power and mercy is evident in the grace that is bestowed on us each day.  As we approach our walk with Him, we may wonder how He is moving on our behalf.  We may not see how the individual events in our lives work together but our Heavenly Father has the master plan.  This is the same God that spoke the world into existence. What power, what might and how gracious that God brought each of us into this world for this time and this place.  I am thankful to God for the countless blessings that allow my today and tomorrows.  I am thankful that God has already worked things out on our behalf and that we can honor our Father with our love and our service.  He is showing Himself strong each day.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:4 – 6

It can be easy to be consumed by the issues of the day. Each day has its own joy and challenges. We can approach blessed day with confidence and peace of God’s promises that:

He will provide direction;

• He would guide our footsteps;

His Holy Spirit can give us the right words to say;

He will meet our needs as we put Him first;

He can provide protection in the midst of the storm.

A brighter day starts with rising of the sun and the Son of God, Jesus Christ in our lives.
