Expecter Worn Out

If your expecter is worn out and your hope is fizzling out too;  if you are too tired to keep expecting, hoping and too tired to stay faithful and collect;  in fact, if you are ready to throw everything you’ve already collected, one piece at a time until it hurts somebody, I have a spiritual Rolaid for you!  Consider these truths:

Haggai 2,  “All you people take courage, stand firm, be resolute, prevail and seize, press urgently, keep holding strongly and be encouraged, declares the LORD, ‘for I am with you,’ says the LORD of hosts. [The Lord over every organized power and force that exists]. ‘As for the promise which I made you . . . My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear!’ ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘and in this place I shall give peace,’ declares the LORD of hosts.”  (NAS)  That was His promise to His House through the prophet Haggai, but it is also a promise to us.  We are  His Temple.
