Part 3: Doing it Right

10 On December 18 of the second year of King Darius's reign, the LORD sent this message to the prophet Haggai: 11 "This is what the LORD Almighty says! Ask the priests this question about the law:

12 If one of you is carrying a holy sacrifice in his robes and happens to brush against some bread or stew, wine or oil, or any other kind of food, will it also become holy?" The priests replied, "No."

And the priests answered, "Yes." 13 Then Haggai asked, "But if someone becomes ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person and then brushes against any of the things mentioned, will it be defiled?" And the priests answered, "Yes."

14 Then Haggai said, "That is how it is with this people and this nation, says the LORD. Everything they do and everything they offer is defiled. 15 So think about this from now on — consider how things were going for you before you began to lay the foundation of the LORD's Temple.

16 When you hoped for a twenty-bushel crop, you harvested only ten 16 When you hoped for a twenty-bushel crop, you harvested only ten. When you expected to draw fifty gallons from the winepress, you found only twenty. 17 I sent blight and mildew and hail to destroy all the produce of your labor. Yet, even so, you refused to return to me, says the LORD.

18 "On this eighteenth day of December — the day when the foundation of the LORD's Temple was laid — carefully consider this: 19 I am giving you a promise now while the seed is still in the barn,.

From this day onward I will bless you." before you have harvested your grain and before the grapevine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have produced their crops. From this day onward I will bless you." --Haggai 2:10-19 (NLT)

31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?

32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.

33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

--Matthew 6:31-34 (Amplified Bible 34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. --Matthew 6:31-34 (Amplified Bible

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. --Romans 8:18-21 (NIV)
