Have you ever thought or said, “What if…?”, “Those were the good old days.”, “If only….”. God sent the prophet Haggai to the people of Israel to encourage them to look forwards, not backwards. And God does the same for us today.
Pastor Bill encourages us through with these personal applications: “We never get it all right.” “We will never get get it back.” “This is no surprise to Jesus.” “A moment of obedience and boldness is worth more than years of complacent inactivity, or more importantly, failure and shame.” “Many who are mentioned in Scripture only play a very small role.” “It’s never too late to start, but don’t try to make up lost ground.” “We all have an enormous need for encouragement.”
