The Book of Haggai is filled with words of warning and encouragement. This brief prophecy brings a message to the Jews who have returned from exile in Babylon: God has yet to fulfill his promise of restoring Jerusalem and rebuilding His Temple, but He will not forget about it.

Haggai calls for diligent work on the part of the Jews. He chastises them for building their own houses while neglecting to work on God’s Temple. The prophet emphasizes that God will not be forgotten and His promise is sure – but it requires action and perseverance from the people.

Haggai encourages the people to have faith in God, to move forward with courage and diligence, and to trust that God will keep His promise of restoring Jerusalem. This message is echoed in the New Testament book of Hebrews, where we are urged to have faith despite all odds and hardships.

The words of Haggai remain relevant even today. We can take solace in knowing that our Father will never forget us and that He is always with us, even when it seems like everything is going wrong. Let’s remember to have faith and to move forward with courage, knowing that our God is faithful and will never leave us alone.

When everything seems to be going wrong, it’s easy to lose hope. We may feel like we’re all alone in the world and that God has forgotten about us. But the truth is, God is always with us. His presence and His promises give us the courage to press on.

No matter what life throws our way, we can have faith that God is with us and will never leave us alone. Let’s remember the words of Haggai: “I will shake all nations, and the treasures of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory” (Haggai 2:7). With God on our side, we can move forward with confidence and courage, knowing that He will fulfill His promises in His time.
