Word in Season (Isaiah 50:4, Hagai 1)

Though the people of Judah had become discouraged and distracted, God doesn’t scold them harshly—He calls them back lovingly.

🗣️ God’s Encouraging Message:

• God reminds them that they’ve been working hard but seeing little result—not as punishment, but as a wake-up call.

• He encourages them to "consider your ways"—a gentle invitation to reflect and reset.

🔥 Encouragement Through Leaders:

• God speaks to their leaders, Zerubbabel and Joshua, showing that He works through leadership to inspire hope.

• He stirs their spirits and the hearts of the people—He doesn’t just command, He empowers.

💡 God’s Comforting Promise:

“I am with you,” declares the Lord. (v.13)
That short phrase is the ultimate encouragement—it means they’re not alone in the rebuilding process.
