IN WHOM WILL YOU TRUST?

“YOU HAVE PLANTED MUCH BUT HARVESTED LITTLE. YOU HAVE FOOD TO EAT, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO FILL YOU UP. YOU HAVE WINE TO DRINK, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO SATISFY YOUR THIRST. YOU HAVE CLOTHING TO WEAR, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU WARM. YOUR WAGES DISAPPEAR AS THOUGH YOU WERE PUTTING THEM IN POCKETS FILLED WITH HOLES!” HAGGAI 1:6

The prophet speaks to the condition of those who disobey God. There is no success a part form the blessing of God.

As conditions around us deteriorate our only hope is in the mercy and grace of God. Men look to men, but the ways of men are riddled with selfish intent. Only God gives graciously and freely and abundantly; only God has the unlimited resources to satisfy all our needs and the ability to keep us in spite of enduring trials.

If you find yourself frustrated with each step, perhaps you should reevaluate with whom you are walking. If you your good faith comes back to you void, perhaps you should reconsider in whom you are placing your good faith.

As David reminds us, “I HAVE BEEN YOUNG, AND NOW I AM OLD; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS SEED BEGGING FOR BREAD.” PSALM 37:25
