Through the Bible with Poetry: Haggai
Jon’s thoughts: Why is it that God is so intent that we build for Him, the creator of the universe, a dwelling place to house his presence here on earth? It seems odd to me that it should be this way. Then again, perhaps it is not so much for Himself that He goes to such great lengths to see to it that we build a temple for Him. It is for us, it is in us, that He does such extraordinary things. And in that He takes great delight.
Haggai
Build A House Unto The Lord
Build a house unto the Lord.
He will take pleasure in the work:
In every brick and board.
He is with you.
His Spirit in your midst;
Fear not in everything you do.
He will fill the house with glory,
A place of peace to bless,
And tell a beautiful story.
