John 1.35-51- Before this is over you're going to see heaven open and God's angels descending to the Son of Man and ascending again.
1 Chronicles 9-The first Israelites to return from exile to their homes and cities were the priests, the Levites, and the temple support staff.
Haggai 1-2-This Temple is going to end up far better than it started out, a glorious beginning but an even more glorious finish: a place in which I will hand out wholeness and holiness.
Luke 1.46-55-The Lord has used his powerful arm to scatter those who are proud.

An office building under construction. Noises of hammers and cranes lifting heavy pieces in building. At some point they will be putting on the finishing touches. God builds similar to this. Before this is over there will be a grand opening. The Israelites returning from exile needed to go through a construction project. Haggai had to re-build the Temple. God has me under construction all the time it seems. But I look forward to that day of the grand opening with the return of Jesus. My construction will be complete. Put the cranes away. The powerful arm of the Lord will take control. An office building under construction. Much like life.

Lord, use your powerful arm in my life this day and use me while under construction. --- Amen
