By being with his people in Haggai 1:12-15, God stirred them up to return to him and receive the blessings he had promised in his covenant with Israel.
After the Lord rejected Saul as king, he chose a man with a heart oriented toward the Lord.
Saul’s two acts of foolishness contrasted with his son’s two acts of faith, and they changed the course of history.
Jesus told his disciples how to handle not only adversity, but also prosperity, both of which require faith in God.
