HE IS IN OUR CORNER!
WE all have
A lot going on
In our lives=
It is very easy
TO GET SIDETRACKED
To what is important
In life
ONE thing that is
ALWAYS important to remember
Is that
God is IN our corner=
HE IS=IN OUR CORNER!
“And my spirit
CONTINUES in your midst”
Haggai 2:5
A remnant of the JEWISH PEOPLE
Had just returned
To Judah=from their exile
In Babylon=they were exhausted
They were OVERWHELMED
By the destruction=they had seen
And what was ahead of them
The prophet Haggai
Has some very GOOD NEWS
From God
He is basically telling them
From God=
“I am for you…….
I AM IN YOUR CORNER…….
I am ON your team”
And WHEN we get overwhelmed
In this world-
When we become fearful
God tells us=Jesus tells us
HE IS with us
THEY ARE IN OUR CORNER!
“The stone
The builders rejected
Has become the CORNERSTONE”
Psalm 118:22
“So this is what
The Sovereign Lord says’
See=I lay a stone
In Zion=a tested stone
A PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE-
For a sure foundation=
The one who=who relies on it
Will never be stricken
With panic” Isaiah
28:16
He is our cornerstone
He is=IN OUR CORNER!
God promises the Jewish people
That the GLORY
Of the new Temple
Will be even greater
Than the former one
I am here=they were CONSOLED
WHEN we feel exhausted-
When we feel overwhelmed-
When we are fearful
God is with us
God is for us=He really is with us
He really is=IN OUR CORNER!
All the way=UNTIL
The very end of time
“……..and teaching them
To obey everything=
I have commanded to you
And surely=
I am with you always
To the very end=OF TIME”
Matthew 28:20
The Lord=really is
IN OUR CORNER!
If we truly believe this=
Our lives are blessed
And we LIVE
In a different way
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our always FAITHFIL LIVING
FATHER!
