Haggai: Year 2, Month 6, Day 1, part 1
Even though God's provisions are often meant first to meet our own needs, sometimes we need to check and see if that is just the first step
Welcome to Haggai…indirectly
Even the short (2-chapter) book of Haggai has lessons to teach us, but let's first get some context from another book of the Bible
We Can Do Better Than Edom’s Sins
If taking advantage of those who are being disciplined by God is wrong, what should we do instead?
Do You Want Good for Others?
How does Jesus want us to treat those who have made themselves our enemies?
Needing Jesus, not Jeers
How do we treat those who are rightly experiencing the consequences of their sins (even sins against us)?
Just, but Not to be Celebrated
May we not become like our enemies who gloated over our suffering, when it is their turn to experience the same
Not for No Reason
God pronounced punishment upon the ancient nation of Edom, but this was not an arbitrary decision
Making a Country Small
Trusting in the wrong thing can lead to the opposite of a nation's goals
Welcome to Obadiah
Not too many lessons seem to be taught about the little book of Obadiah in the Bible. Let's be different!
The Error
Sometimes, God's instructions are for us to decline something, even when we really think that we deserve it
Pre-Forgiveness?
Who is a "Naaman" in your life today?
The Appreciation
A good expression of thanks requires grace on the part of both the giver and the receiver. Let's learn from a good example in the book of 2 Kings
The Issue and Its Resolution
How often does our fear of other people’s opinions (or, what we think that they will think about us) keep us from following God’s clear commands?
The Solution
Sometimes, God's solutions in our lives take us through an adventure, to say the least
The Situation
After learning about Naaman's leprosy, the book of 2 Kings introduces us to an unexpected member of his household
The Problem
Life is a mix of blessings and trials, but neither is wasted in God's plan
Bread for Everyone
Did you know that Jesus feeding a lot of people with relatively few loaves of bread wasn't the first time something like that had happened in the Bible?
Bad Stew
While God can provide something from nothing (or practically nothing), He can also take what is bad and make it good.
Blessings in Proportion to Faith
Just as God often rewards faith with His providence, perhaps we can also help others sustain the solutions that they need
Not Just a Handout
Sometimes God's answers to our prayers involve actions from us, and not just His divine power
