“Then they repented and said, ‘The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.’ ”

Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.

“Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”

Lord God my Father,

Cause me to do your will so I may share you well. I repent of my youthful ways and want to represent you in all my actions and words. Help me to find obedience in you and delight in all things. Use me this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
