Greater

“The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

- Haggai 2:9, NKJV

What do you see in your reflection? Do you still see the former or you looking prophetically at what is to come? Perhaps somewhere in between the two lies the truth; however, your reflections ought to be that of “greater.” Understand that God’s purpose, His very desire, for you is that His magnificent light reflects in and through you…that the world (not just you) may experience greater (i.e. greater love, greater humility, greater compassion, greater resolve, greater strength, etc.). Know that you are God’s master temple and regardless of how good, bad, or ugly your former “self” was, with Him it’s not only better, but greater than the former. However, how you perceive such a change begins and ends with what you not only see in your reflection, but also in how you project it. While you continue to search for God’s “greater” in the midst of your struggle, perhaps it’s worth looking at your own reflection and see just what He’s doing in and through you…then watch how God’s glory reflects in your walk, your talk, and all of your conduct.

BE BLESSED!
