Scripture: Haggai 2:7
“I will shake all the nations, so that the treasure of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with splendor.”
Reflection:
God’s vision extends beyond Jerusalem’s walls. The “treasure of the nations” isn’t gold or silver; it’s the people themselves, diverse and valued. God’s house will shine with the beauty of every culture and story united in love.
In our churches and communities, this means God’s glory is revealed when we embrace one another’s gifts, voices, and experiences. The beauty of God’s house is found in the gathering of God’s people.
Application:
Express gratitude for someone who offers a distinctive gift or perspective to your community.
Writing Prompt:
Who in your life shows you a glimpse of God’s “splendor” through their differences?
Prayer:
God of all nations, gather us into your house of love. Let our diversity reflect your glory. Amen.
