Courage to Step
Haggai 1:8
‘Go up … and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the LORD.’
Oftentimes life calls for action and deliberate steps.
We cannot always be passive and just wait for things to fall into our laps.
We need to step forward, under God’s direction, and do what honours Him.
We can be a part of something bigger than ourselves when we do what pleases God.
Let’s Pray…
Lord, I ask that You would give me the courage and the strength to step forward and begin to build. I choose to do what honours and pleases You. Show me the way I should go so that You can be glorified.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
Follow His Lead
Haggai 1:7
This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Give careful thought to your ways.’
We should not rush into things, but we should prayerfully ask God to lead us.
When we do things our way, it doesn’t always have the desired result.
When we do things His way, the Lord causes things to grow.
Realigning with God’s purposes brings restoration, fruitfulness and peace.
Let’s Pray…
Lord, I realise that Your ways are always the best thing for my life and future. I don’t want to do things according to my ideas, but I want to follow Your direction and leading. Help me to give careful and prayerful thought to my choices and decisions.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
