Do not let the business of today's workplace sidetrack you from the importance of God's agenda for you.
"...Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel...." Zechariah 4:10
As children in grammar school we often played pick-up football. Two
captains would alternate making the best choices among schoolmates to
make up the two teams. I was often chosen first because I was a good
athlete. It felt good to be valued by others for what they perceived I
could contribute. Conversely, it must have felt crummy to be the last
chosen or not chosen at all.
Such was the case for Zerubbabel. He was a man chosen by God to
rebuild the temple. God saw something in Zerubbabel that He could use
for His purposes. The people also recognized that Zerubbabel was a man
in whom they could place their faith. So the Lord stirred up the spirit
of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of
Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole
remnant of the people (Haggai 1:14a).
Are you part of the remnant of workplace believers whom God is
calling out today? Do not let the business of today's workplace
sidetrack you from the importance of God's agenda for you. Can you
recall the day God's Spirit rested on you? Have you walked in that
anointing since that day? Satan's strategy is to keep us distracted with
the urgency of the moment versus the importance of eternity. Ask God
what your priorities should be today. Make His priorities your
priorities.
