"From this day I will bless you."
~ Haggai 2:19
Note the day that is referred to in this promise. There had been failure of crops, blasting, and mildew - all because of the people's sin. Now, the Lord saw these chastened ones commencing to obey His word and build His temple, therefore He says, "From this day I will bless you." If we have lived in any sin, and the Spirit leads us to purge ourselves of it, we may reckon upon the blessing of the Lord. His smile, His Spirit, His grace, His fuller revelation of His truth will all prove to us an enlarged blessing.
Lord, I am resolved to be more true to You and I pray, therefore, that You will increase the blessedness of my daily life henceforth and forever." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. This we pray in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
