梦游圣经66本书

经文：
哈该书 2:19

「……从今日起，我必赐福与你们。」

很多人读《哈该书》，首先想到的是神责备百姓：「你们要省察自己的行为。」然而，如果我们读完整卷书，就会发现，神责备的目的不是要定人的罪，而是要把祂的百姓带回祝福里。

当时，以色列百姓已经从被掳之地归回耶路撒冷，却因为害怕、灰心和忙碌，停止建造圣殿多年。他们努力经营自己的生活，却忽略了神的家，因此劳碌很多，收获却很少。

于是，神借着先知哈该呼唤他们回转，不是因为神需要一座殿，而是因为神知道，当人离开祂，就会失去真正的丰盛。

当百姓听见神的话，重新起来建造圣殿时，神立刻赐下两个宝贵的应许：

「我与你们同在。」（哈该书 1:13）

接着又宣告：

「从今日起，我必赐福与你们。」（哈该书 2:19）

这让我们看见，神的心意一直都是要祝福祂的百姓。祂不是乐意责备，而是乐意恢复；不是喜欢管教，而是盼望人重新回到祂的面前，领受祂所预备的一切恩典。

今天，我们也可能因为工作、家庭、生活压力，而渐渐把神放在次要的位置。神仍然温柔地呼唤我们：「你们要省察自己的行为。」这不是一句责备，而是一份爱的邀请，邀请我们重新把神放在生命的首位。

当我们愿意回应神，把祂放在第一位时，我们会发现，最大的祝福不仅是环境改变，更是神的同在重新充满我们的生命。因为有神同在，就有平安；有神同在，就有力量；有神同在，就有真正的盼望。

神的心意，从来不是要人活在缺乏和定罪中，而是要人在祂里面得着生命、得着平安，并经历祂丰盛的祝福。

祷告：

亲爱的天父，感谢你让我们看见，你的心意不是定罪，而是恢复；不是远离，而是亲近；不是咒诅，而是祝福。帮助我常常省察自己的生命，把你放在首位，顺服你的带领。愿我每天都经历你的同在，也领受你所应许的恩典与祝福，使我的生命成为荣耀你的见证。奉主耶稣的名祷告，阿们。

God’s Heart Is to Bless You

27/6/26 Devotional

Scripture:
Haggai 2:19

“…From this day on I will bless you.”

When many people read the book of Haggai, the first thing they notice is God’s rebuke: “Give careful thought to your ways.” Yet, if we read the whole book, we discover that God’s purpose was never to condemn His people, but to bring them back into His blessing.

After returning from exile, the Israelites had begun rebuilding the temple, but because of fear, discouragement, and the pressures of life, they stopped the work for many years. They focused on building their own houses while neglecting the house of God. As a result, they worked hard but experienced little fruit.

Through the prophet Haggai, God called them to return—not because He needed a temple, but because He knew that when His people drifted away from Him, they would also miss the fullness of His blessing.

When the people responded to God’s word and resumed rebuilding the temple, God immediately gave them two precious promises:

“I am with you.” (Haggai 1:13)

Then He declared:

“From this day on I will bless you.” (Haggai 2:19)

These verses reveal a beautiful truth: God’s heart has always been to bless His people. He does not delight in rebuking them; He delights in restoring them. He does not discipline for the sake of punishment, but to draw His people back to Himself so they can receive the grace He has prepared for them.

Today, we too can become so occupied with work, family, and daily responsibilities that God is no longer our first priority. Yet His call remains gentle and loving: “Give careful thought to your ways.” This is not merely a rebuke—it is an invitation to return and place Him first once again.

When we respond to Him and give Him the first place in our lives, we discover that the greatest blessing is not merely changed circumstances, but His presence with us. Where God is present, there is peace. Where God is present, there is strength. Where God is present, there is hope.

God’s heart has never been for His people to live under condemnation or lack. His desire is that we find life, peace, and the fullness of His blessings in Him.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me that Your heart is not to condemn but to restore; not to push me away but to draw me near; not to curse but to bless. Help me to examine my life, place You first in all things, and walk in obedience to Your leading. May I experience Your presence every day and receive the grace and blessings You have promised, so that my life may bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
