The desire of all nations

“And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.” - Haggai 2v7-9

God truly loves His people. He did not just tell them to stop being discouraged and to get their act together. He told them why they should not be discouraged. God told them to look forward to the day when He would “shake all nations, the Desire of Nations would come, He would fill His temple with glory, and He would give peace.

God wants us to do all we can here and now, but He wants us to be looking forward to what He will do.

At the end of the day all God wants us to do is to be faithful with what we have. As long as we are doing all to His glory we can rest assured no matter how it looks. One day He is going to use it all for His glory and we will rejoice in what He has done.

Wouldn’t it be wise if we started rejoicing in what He is doing today?
