Priorities the Bring Blessing

b'Have you ever thought of how big this world is? Take a moment, think about it. As we expand our thinking out we tend to look at what is going on in other countries and compare it with what is taking place in our own. Sometimes the conclusion we come up with is that God is leaving us out. The country in which we live is past its prime when it comes to God\\u2019s blessing. Jesus said he would build and bless \\u2018his church.\\u2019 We are to build his kingdom, which goes beyond the boundaries of any country. God is looking for people ready to do his work where they are. This week as we continue in Haggai God really gets down to the nitty-gritty with the Jews. He asks them to take a hard look at their current position. He tells them that his blessing was available for them at their present time. It was not for some other country at some other time in history.'
