From This Day I Will Bless You
“From this day will I bless you” (Haggai 2:19).
Future things are hidden from us.
Yet we may see the unborn years.
The Lord says: “From this day will I bless you!”
It is worthwhile to note the day which is referred to in this promise.
There had been failure of crops, blasting, and mildew, and all because of the people’s sin.
The Lord saw these chastened ones commencing to obey His word and build His temple, and therefore He says, “From the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider. From this day will I bless you.”
If we have lived in any sin,
– and the Spirit leads us to purge ourselves of it,
– we may reckon upon the blessing of the Lord.
His Spirit,
His saving grace,
His sovereign power-
– will all prove to us an enlarged blessing!
We may fall into greater opposition-
– from man because of our faithfulness.
But-
We shall rise to be closer with the Lord our God!
And have a clearer sight of our acceptance in Him!!
“Lord, I am resolved to be more true to You and more exact in my following of Your principles and precepts. Please help me.
I pray to You, therefore, by Christ Jesus, to increase the blessedness of my daily life now and forever. Amen!”
