What a beautiful day we had today. The Sun shining so wonderfully warm. But you also know that winter is right around the corner at anytime.

Today's spring like weather remind me of God.  In the coldest winter God gives us a little touch of Spring to warm our hearts.  And in times of trouble God gives us His son to brighten our day. (Haggai 2:23) says, " In that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel, My servant the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, says the Lord of Hosts."

Zerubbabel was precious to God.  God gave the example of a signet ring, because a signet ring represented an article of special value to its owner. Zerubbabel's name remains recorded for all to see as a sign of the special place granted him by God, for he is listed in the genealogies of our Lord Jesus.  Zerubbabel let the Holy Spirit bring Faith's works alive in him.  He sought God and trusted God to provide for all his needs. He made God a priority in his life.

We need to do the same. The challenge to faith is the same in every generation; seek first the things of God and trust Him to provide the daily necessities of life. The glorification of any work we pursue comes by the presence of God in it. God calls us to commit what we are, what we have and all that we do to Him. Make the work of God a priority, both with your time and with your money. Understand that it is the presence of Jesus that produces glory.

Choose to believe and reckon as true that we turn from selfish ambition and personal agenda to focus on advancing God's kingdom, He will bless us toward that end.

Blessings, Prayers and Love,
