The Lord is always at work in our lives, teaching, purging, guiding, and strengthening.

In the little book of Haggian, we learn great truth about his work in us and how we are to work with him

welcome to God's construction zone let's join Scott Pauli Manor as we study together

so many people live their whole life with regret.

They're always thinking about yesterday.

As a matter of fact, I have heard so many people through the years talk about the good old days.

I wonder sometimes if the good old days were actually as good as we thought they were,

or if we just are remembering only the good things in them.

But the truth of the matter is, for a child of God, the good old days shouldn't be yesterday.

It should be today.

That doesn't mean every day.

Everything goes like we want it to.

But to live our lives like the best days are behind us, I don't believe that's God's way.

And that was the,

that was the sin of the people of God in Haggai chapter 2. That's why the Lord sends Haggai to say to them, stop your complaining and stop your comparison and stop your criticism and stop

thinking that the good days are past. Haggat chapter two in verse three

they were saying he said who has left among you that saw this house in her first glory and how do

you see it now is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing he said you're belittling

what I'm trying to do today. That's a very dangerous thing

because God is at work at this present hour. If I might be very transparent with you, I meet

people in my travels who say, well, you know, I believe the era of revivals has passed. If I believe

that, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing with my life.
