Consider Your Ways

The Jewish people, returning from being exiled in Persia, do not have God's blessing because they are busy in their panelled houses and have left God's temple only partly rebuilt. The new temple does not have the wealth and majesty of Solomon's temple, yet God will be there. The people's obedience in rebuilding the temple brings God's blessing and He will show His glory there. Zerubbabel, the Governor, who is in the line of David, is chosen by God to be His signet ring, His ambassador to the people.
