Proverbs 16:9, “A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”

God is calling us to consider our ways and build His house.

Haggai 1 :7-8, “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; ‘Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified’ ”, saith the LORD.

Haggai 1:13-14, “Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, “I am with you” , saith the LORD. And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God.”

Stirred up in Hebrew is the word “ur” which means He woke up their eyes to self and made them bare or naked.

God calls the people to build His house and says come up to the mountain, ascend here, and bring what you have, and use your gifts and I’ll make it all prosperous.

He is calling us in this season of Teshuvah to have faith to come up to the mountain . In summary, it’s time for a change! This change means to stop looking at yourself through earthly eyes of death and with only eyes to save yourself, your family, your resources or relationships.

Instead, God wants your eyes open from His view on the mountain top and He will bless the work of your hands as you live by faith and ascend the mountain from the lower level thinking places.

The test of this remnant of people in Haggai was to stop focusing on self but instead to live by faith and build His house. The reward was that prosperity would come to their personal house.

The key for us to learn … is that God was with the people He called to build from beginning to end. The way to build proper is to Come up to the Mountain- See from God’s View!

He blessed their faith and stirred their spirit to not focus on themselves first but instead to put Him first in bringing what they had and their spiritual gifting, and then He was glorified by their faith and action as they lived from a mountain perspective .

Here in this ascension position God blessed the work of their hands upon His temple .

Consider this … Maybe all our issues arise because we’re trying to save ourselves first?

Our needs for provision, protection and acceptance are driving us to make all kinds of decisions to save ourselves, when the Only one who can save us says, “Believe that I can save you, but the only way is to come up to the mountain first and in faith bring something. “ God says , “ I’ll make you like you were in the garden which is to have your eyes open and be free from death.” So stop trying to gain for yourself and God will cover you !

Instead let us consider our selfish ways and now ASCEND the mountain and watch God give us all we need ! It’s training for reigning as the calendar will turn over in 2 weeks to Head of the Year 5785! Let us Ascend the Mountain now and begin to build!
