Haggai 2:20-23


Haggai 2:20-23 The word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, (21) "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I am about to shake the heavens and the earth, (22) and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, every one by the sword of his brother. (23) On that day, declares the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel, declares the LORD, and make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, declares the LORD of hosts."

Three points:

1. Judgment:

A time for humility. Throw away our pride. We aren't as big and powerful as we think. Maybe we can't solve our problems ourselves. We need someone who is wiser, stronger, and able to know the future.

2. Blessing:

God is the one who blesses.

3. Picked out:

God chooses his servants conditionally to those who heart is right with Him. Is my heart right with Him? Am I thankful for what He has done and doing?
