Haggai 1:1-2:23

What God said to me – Give careful thought to your ways.  What are you doing that has eternal implications and what has temporal? Do you do more to build My house and My kingdom or yours?  Don’t spend so much time worrying about your own house but devote yourself to Mine.  I will take care of your house and multiply your time so you can get all your “stuff” done.  You spend your time building up My house so I will be glorified and lifted up.  Be strong and work as I direct for “I AM” with you.  Walk with Me and you will see My house filled with glory.

Zephaniah 1:1-3:20

What God said to me – I know that reading of My judgment is disturbing for you . . . that the death and destruction are upsetting to you.  You must look to Me and remember that “I AM” righteous and I do no wrong.  “I AM” merciful and I give the world every opportunity to receive that mercy.  Some do, but in the end, most will reject it because their hearts are bent on evil and at some point, judgment must follow . . . judgment will follow.  “I AM” righteous and I cannot and will not tolerate sin forever.  You look to Me.  You seek righteousness and humility and live and walk with Me.  Trust me to do what is right when the time is right.

Habakkuk 1:1-3:19

What God said to me – Stand and watch for me.  Wait patiently to hear what I have to say.  Come to Me when you have questions, or you don’t understand.  I will either help you understand the situation from My perspective, or I will give you the grace to trust me through it, even though you don’t understand.  My ways are eternal, but your perspective is temporal.  You must realize that things are not always what they seem.  It may seem that bad is always triumphing over good and that evil is prospering while those who are good are suffering, but you are seeing it all from the bottom up and not seeing the whole picture.  “I AM” over all.  I see all.  “I AM” in control of all.  I will work it all for good.  Trust Me.
