So the priests agreed not to accept any more money from the people, and they also agreed to let others take responsibility for repairing the Temple.

Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: Why do you disobey the Lord’s commands and keep yourselves from prospering? You have abandoned the Lord, and now he has abandoned you!”

Lord God my Father,

May I get my life in line with your plan, may I obey your order for my life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
