Former & Latter Glory

When the people began to build the new temple, the older generation wept in memory of the glory of the old temple. The past can be the idol that robs us of God’s blessing in the future. The Lord encouraged the people to continue the work and reminded them that He would be with them. God does not call us to a task based upon our own qualification, rather He promises to be with us in our obedience. The Lord declared that once finished, the glory of the latter temple would be greater than the first. The Bible says that the end of a matter is greater than the beginning. Are you living in the past or the present? Is your life resting in the Lord or your own capability?EZRA 3:10-12HAGGAI 2:1-3HAGGAI 2:4-5EXODUS 3:10-12HAGGAI 2:6-8
