Continue to Build and Prosper

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

In the book of Ezra, the Jewish people are working to restore the temple of God. And in Ezra 6:14 it says, "So the elders of the Jews continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah."  

So if the people continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai and Zechariah... what did they preach?

The book of Haggai is all about putting God first. The people were working on their own houses instead of God's and all of their work wasn't amounting to much. Haggai 1:9-10 says, "“Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops."

We are told in the New Testament that when we seek first the kingdom of Heaven, all of the things we need will be added to us.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us prioritize his things ahead of our own, and to show us any areas where we are not walking in this, so that we can correct them, and continue to build and prosper.
