—Haggai 1:7-15
by: Matthew Berg.
Zerubbabel obeyed God, and the people followed his example (v. 12). We must remember that people are watching us. They will follow our lead if we are as faithful and courageous as those who returned from exile were. Haggai, the faithful prophet, brought the timeless message from the Lord, "I am with you" (v. 13). We need to be faithful messengers in our churches to encourage others who are struggling with fear and doubt. The Lord's Spirit is a key ingredient to any moving of the people of God (v. 14).
