Today's Bible Study
In this verse from the prophet Haggai, we learn about the future for the Israelites. When Jesus, the Messiah, comes, the Lord will "shake all nations" and meet all of their desires, and glory will fill the earth. Jesus's arrival will be the biggest event in human history, leaving no heart or mind or nation unchanged.

The verse begins by saying that Jesus will shake all nations. This means His arrival will change the entire earth fundamentally. No nation will be the same after He has come! His arrival announces a new era that will be very different from the old one.

Jesus will fill the desires of the nations. In other words, He will be the one to meet the needs of all the people on Earth. No one but He is able to satisfy the people. Through Him, all the nations of the earth will be blessed. They will find themselves in Him.


Finally, Jesus will bring glory that will be even greater than that of Solomon's temple. The Lord wants to bring glory all over the earth, and this will happen when people begin to call upon the name of Jesus. This glory exceeds that of a building or a temple -- it goes into the heart of every man and woman.

Today, we live on the other side of Jesus's coming. These promises about nations also apply to our own hearts. We are no longer bound by the law that we could never fulfill but live in grace. We have experienced how knowing Jesus shakes our lives. If you compare yourself before you knew Christ and after you got to know Him, you can see how much He has shaken you. He has also filled our desires. As we walk in a deeper and deeper relationship with Him, we realize that He satisfied every one of our needs.

Finally, we can see His glory in our lives and throughout lives. As we share His love with other people, we become partakers in His glory, exactly as the Lord intended for us from the moment we were created.
Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you so much for the goodness that you have shown me. Thank you for shaking my heart, fulfilling my desires, and showing me your glory. I want to bring glory and honor to you with my life. I praise you, Jesus. In your name, amen.

"But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head."
Psalm 3:3 KJV

Yesterday's Bible Study
King David writes Psalm three when he is fleeing from his son Absalom, who had rebelled against him. David encourages himself in the Lord in this time of discouragement. His words are an example of steadying ourselves in truth when our emotions threaten to undo us

He writes that the Lord is a shield. This means the Lord protects David; David knows that his life is ultimately in the hands of the Lord, not those of his rebellious son or his followers. Today, we can take heart in the fact that the Lord is our defender.

David also says that the Lord is his glory. This means the Lord is David's primary goal in life. David isn't after fame or fortune or a good reputation; he wants to know the Lord. That relationship with God is what's most important to David; everything else is ancillary. This also applies to us today: The Lord should be our main goal in life, and we can rest in Him forever, regardless of what is going on around us.

Yesterday's Prayer
Dear Lord, when I think about you, my fears go away. You are God - powerful and mighty, and I rest knowing that regardless of my circumstances, you love me. Help me to turn to you when I am discouraged. You are the lifter of my head. In Jesus's name, Amen.
