Read 💼 Haggai 1: I must be about my Father’s business
Our list of daily “To-Dos” never ends.
Each day welcomes its own assortment of worries, each worry seemingly more pressing than the previous.
The most worrisome of them is having worried and worked in vain, winding up still in want.
God’s sovereign will for us to work for Him first is the only way we will gain what we need in this world.

Sometimes, God puts us through hardship and suffering, lets us learn the hard way, to remind us to return to Him and His holy way.

Until then, God requires no more than perseverance in our faithfulness and hope in His unshakable commands and promises.

Haggai Chapter 2 - The Glory of This Latter Temple Shall Be Greater Than the Former | True Jesus Church
Let us reflect on our own faith as we read about God’s certain declarations of His promises.
“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”” - Hebrews 13:5
These days, readily accessible and pervasive media has normalised the act of peering through windows of someone else’s life.
Even if not intentionally, subconsciously, we quickly identify our lack in stark contrast to others’ abundance.
But, when we keep our wandering eyes fixed on God, in living for His will, we will see in full view, that God alone is all we need seek.
Read on for more on lifelong treasures we should endeavour to acquire.
Be guided by:
- Discussion questions
- Student/Child(ren)-led prayer

“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.” - Proverbs 15:3
Too much escapes human eyes, too many unseen by naked eyes, too little accurately discerned by our mind’s eyes.
How can we ever trust our own filtered point of view?
Instead of searching high and low for ways to live right, have we first turned our hearts and eyes to God, sought after His guiding light?

No stronger emphasis placed on good academic standing than what has been maintained in Singapore for decades.
Many of us study hard to increase our probabilities and prospects of securing stable jobs, mostly driven by selfish ambition, lofty aspirations and/or the pressure to meet socially applaudable self-preservation standards.
In the multitude of our anxieties and preoccupations, have we any realisations about all our getting in relation to God?

Zechariah Chapter 4 - But By My Spirit | True Jesus Church
When faced with seemingly impossible tasks, God's Spirit empowers us to overcome our weaknesses and accomplish His work.
Read this to learn - The Bible does not cover up this reality - Life is short and miserable.
Although some days seem long, years pass as quickly as they come.
Time drags on especially long while we're stumbling through suffering and struggles, the end or a breakthrough not even remotely in sight.
Walking into the second quarter of the year, perhaps there is much we have yet to accomplish, perhaps we have already been met with one too many setbacks, perhaps we simply can't wait for the year to end.
A promise God will never fail to keep - "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5). God is faithful, knows the limit to the burdens we can bear and escape from.
So, regardless of circumstance, now and later, let us take heart and keep our faith firmly planted in God's absolute truth - all things will work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
