I got this clock for free
from Watson's drugstore
(after buying a lot medicine!)
and decided to change the face.
"Nothing is as far away as a minute ago."
it says.
We can't bring back the past.
It's gone forever!
After the Jews were brought back from
Babylonian exile and captivity,
they were so excited to build
they were so excited to build
the temple and restore it.
But then they got lazy and ungrateful,
But then they got lazy and ungrateful,
and for 16 years
they neglected the temple
they neglected the temple
and allowed it to fall back into ruin.
They prioritized building THEIR OWN houses.
They prioritized building THEIR OWN houses.
Then God spoke through Haggai the prophet,
"Consider your ways! Go deep into the hill country;
bring timber and build the house that I may take
pleasure in it and receive my glory!" Haggai 1:8
Are we like the Jews, forgetting all God has done for us?
Wanting not God's best, but preferring what the world
tries to pass off as the best for us?

"I will shake all the nations..."Haggai 2:7
A lot of preachers cite this verse
for what will happen at the end times
and say THAT is what is happening now-
earthquakes, severe weather conditions,
terrorism....
Is it a physical shaking?
Or is it like the shaking, the winnowing,
allowing the chaff to separate from the grains of wheat?
What would God want to separate?
The believers from the unbelievers?
The gold from the dross?
Correct teaching from false?
When times are difficult,
more people turn to God.
I think that is why He will shake the world.
It does not matter if these are the
end times or not.
For each one of us, there will be an end...
and a new beginning.
I like to think I'm investing for that
new beginning.
And I need to do it now!
Because a minute ago is gone forever
and the future depends
on what I do today!
