Like the plans to building a house, the Bible is God’s plan for our life and priorities are the foundation. Our number one priority is to build upon a solid faith in Jesus Christ. We then can condition our heart by remembering the lessons, applying them in life, and sharing these lasting treasures with others.
I’ve finished the study of Haggai; a prophet that gave courage to the people to complete the Temple. The main lesson learned for me in my study is that there is advantage in discovering a channel of decision making that begins with God who knows the best way. Disciplined effort to follow the clear path along with determination leads to progress and joy.
My attention will now turn to studying the book of Zechariah. I will make use of the questions below as I study each passage listed. Feel free to respond with a short note or a comment about any of these questions. Also, I welcome any other thoughts or ideas, favorite inspirational videos, photos, or favorite Bible verses. Just add them to the comments.

Great summary Mark: “The main lesson learned for me in my study is that there is advantage in discovering a channel of decision making that begins with God who knows the best way. Disciplined effort to follow the clear path along with determination leads to progress and joy.” I look forward to reading Haggai each year. It does fill me with joy.
