Hag 2:18-19 | MHM | STEP | v. 18-19 : God then told them to look at what would happen from this day onward, now that they had started rebuilding the temple. Even though the seeds were still in the barns and the fruit trees had not yet produced, God promised, "From this day I will bless you." Nature did not guarantee a good harvest, but God did. When they began to do what was right, God promised to bless their efforts. Obeying God would bring a clear change for the better in their lives. God did not say exactly how He would bless them, but His blessing would be enough to make them truly happy and prosperous (Malachi 3:10 ). When we make it a priority to serve God, we can expect His blessing. Those who are wise will notice how God’s kindness follows those who choose to do what is right.

Even though the seeds were still in the barns and the fruit trees had not yet produced, God promised, "From this day I will bless you." Nature did not guarantee a good harvest, but God did. When they began to do what was right, God promised to bless their efforts. Obeying God would bring a clear change for the better in their lives. God did not say exactly how He would bless them, but His blessing would be enough to make them truly happy and prosperous (Malachi 3:10 ^a). When we make it a priority to serve God, we can expect His blessing. Those who are wise will notice how God’s kindness follows those who choose to do what is right.
