The prophet Haggai called a people in survival mode in the years after returning from exile, to a return to their true worship of God.

God doesn’t provide us with a no frills, bare-bones existence. God provides … and provides abundantly. The abundance of God … the peace of God is available … is given to all of God’s people.  Let us be open to God’s rebuilding in our lives, and may our lives give worship, praise, honour and service to the living, life-giving God.
