Begin Again

Jun 05, 2021

Today’s Scripture

Ezra 5:2, NIVThen Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.

Today’s Word

God put a dream in Zerubbabel to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. The whole city had been destroyed, and he came back from exile and laid the foundation for the temple. But some people were against him and got a decree from the Persian king that forced him to stop. Month after month, even year after year, imagine him seeing the empty foundation and thinking it would never happen. But years later, the prophet Zechariah showed up and said in effect, “Begin again.” He was saying, “It may look dead, and people are against you, but if you begin again, if you start believing again, if you start working again, it’s still coming to pass.” Zerubbabel came to a destiny moment where God was saying it was his time, and he said yes and made it happen.

This is a destiny moment for you. God is saying, “What’s not completed in your life, dreams that haven’t worked out, begin again. This is your time.”

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for the dreams You put in my heart. Thank You that You’ve equipped me and empowered me to accomplish all of Your promises, even the ones that look dead. I believe that this is a destiny moment for me, and it’s time to rise up and begin again. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
