When I drive my car, many times I set out and have

the odd feeling that something is not right. I check to make sure

I've got my phone. Then I check for my wallet. The phone and the

wallet are there, but there's something not quite right. It usually

only takes a couple of blocks until one of my kids yells out, "Dad!

Put your seat belt on." Oh yeah. That's what was missing. I had the

nagging feeling that something wasn't right. I just didn't know

what it was. Have you ever had that feeling? I'm not talking about

little things, like a seat belt, but big things. Like something in

your life is missing. For 15 years, I think that the remnant of the

Israelites had that feeling. Last week we saw that it took a word

from the prophet Haggai to wake them up. "The temple," Haggai said.

"You're missing the temple!" That message was really important. But

what's more important is what they did next. The people responded

to God's voice. On Sunday, we're going to dive back into the

message of the prophet Haggai. And we're going to take a look at

the proper response to the word of the Lord in our lives. I can't

wait to see you then! P.Dave
