21 Sep The Courage to Wait!
Farming requires hard work, from plowing to planting to harvest. But as the farmer looks at an unplowed field, the work begins in his imagination long before the first seed is ever planted.
🎯The farmer must hope for a good end, a rich harvest—and that hope fuels his hard work when the end is not in sight.
🎯The Jews who returned to Jerusalem after almost 70 years in exile faced a similar dilemma. They found ruins where their beautiful temple once stood, and rebuilding it seemed impossible.
🎯“I am with you,” God said, giving them the hope of His presence and power. He “stirred up the spirit” of Israel’s leaders.
🎯Then He gave a word about waiting—saying that things would change “in a little while.”
🎯For them to see the glory ahead, God told them to take courage and work. Then He promised, “The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former … in this place I will give peace”
