S - Haggai 1:12 - Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord. 13 Then Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, spoke to the people with the Lord's message, "I am with you, declared the Lord." 14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . I am with you also. Just as I was with my people back then as they rebuild the temple, I am with you as you rebuild your temple. it is my desire that your temple be just as glorious as my temple was back then. Each time you serve me, each time you follow my commands, each time you share my name with others, you are laying precious stones in your temple. As you serve me longer and longer and you are more and more faithful to me, your temple becomes more and more glorious and more and more beautiful to me.
A - It is my desire that my temple become more beautiful and more glorious all the time. I want to serve my Lord and follow his commands. I want to tell others of the joy that he has brought me. I want to celebrate him each and every day.
P - Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you do for me. Forgive me for the times when I have chosen to not follow your commands. Forgive me for the times when I have chosen not to speak your name in the presence of my friends. Help me to continue to choose to follow your commands and to continue to gather with people to pray to you for the community that I work in, for my school, the teachers and the students.
