Another tidbit of Hope for yall.

You know hope is what a lot of us need today. Life is not always on you side if i can put it that way , we go through various things and some times you might look at what you had before how good it was and now your situation is not so Good ,  we go through that in life and you know i got a word for you.

you know the children of Israel went through alot mainly because of there Disobedience towards the LORD but when the Lord gave them a word that they would be getting free , set free they believed and stayed strong im going to go in Haggai Chapter 2:1-4 , this is something my father shared with me last night and its a powerful verse for all those who need encouragement.

Brief history now around this time The Children of Israel went back to see what it was like after being in captivity and when they went back they saw it in a horrible state.

Haggai 2

 1In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
 2Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
 3Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
 4Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: 

Now at this point , when the children of Israel went back to Jerusalem what they saw was horrendous the state that it was in they thought they could never rebuild the city , it was so bad that only the LORD could encourage them to go back and build .

Now the LORD says something important in verse 4 , " Yet now be strong,.." its something we all need to do through the hardest of times our old glory could be in such a horrible state that we dont even want to go back and start over but we need to be strong , we need to BE STRONG , the LORD goes on to say "... and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: "

we need to be strong and WORK for the lord is with us ,, when your situation is bad hearken to the voice of the Lord be in his will and WORK and you will see he will elivate you to what you where before and maybe even above that , just be strong and work thats what we need to do its all we can do. for he is with us . 

if god be for us who can be against us ?
