Be strong and work for I am with you. That's the message I took from Haggai 2 today, and what a timely message it is. You see sometimes, even though I love the Lord with all my heart, I get a little weary. Now I'm not talking about being weary from working or doing. I'm talking about getting weary when I don't seem to see things happening after I've been diligently doing what I fully believe God would have me do. In times like those my inclination is to start doubting myself, wondering if something's wrong with me and my attitude or if maybe I'm going down a wrong path or.....you get the picture. (Now I'm guessing I'm not alone here and you've experienced this a time or two as well).
So how can we use Haggai 2 and those key words "I am with you" in verse 4 to help keep us strong and working without doubt and weariness creeping in? Tami W.
My personal views are, The Words "I am with you" is found so many times in the Bible. They may not be the exact Words but these are Words our Lord has been saying to us throughout the Bible and He has said it so many times that we must believe them and recognise how blessed we are, that our Creator cares for, and loves us so much that He keeps saying these Words to us. If we do not believe Him it is time for us to truly believe these Words. He has asked us to choose life and not death. He is such a merciful and forgiving God that I can only keep reading His Word, and keeping in touch with BTTB and other true teachings of His Word. Doubts will come yes, but if we take up our Bibles He will be there for us, because He will see that we need His strength and we will hear Him saying, "I am with you, do not fear".
