Today’s Scripture: On that day, declares the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel, declares the LORD, and make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, declares the LORD of hosts.” Haggai 2:23 ESV
Do you know what God has chosen for you? Earlier in Haggai 2:19 Zerubbabel was told that “from this day on I will bless you”. This was just two verses after he was told that he had not turned to God.
If we knew God had chosen us and He would bless us from this day on would we turn to Him more often?
The good news is that He HAS chosen each of us and He will bless us from this day on. May we boldly act on this promise.
Like reading a riveting novel, I yearned to read the next chapter in Haggai to see what Zerubbabel would do with this promise. Guess what, there is not a next chapter. Just as I don’t know my next chapter or yours I do know God has chosen us and made us a promise.
What will we do with our promise?
Today’s Prayer: Almighty LORD, thank You for choosing me. Forgive me for not turning to You. Thank You for Your blessings. I am encouraged by Your words and Your servants to boldly be and do what You have chosen for me. Help me to remember Your promises and to turn to You and be who You have chosen. Amen
