HAG1-Happiness/satisfaction/meaning: impossible w/o right priorities. If v5-6 is your life, v9-11 shows why. #HarborCBR
#HarborCBR Haggai begins today with City Bible Reading! This short, 2 chapter book explains why our lives feel empty and how priorities, not possessions, are the key to meaning, satisfaction, and happiness.

HAG1,2-If God isn't your first priority, nothing will lastingly satisfy. But, put Him first, and ANY kind of life can satisfy. #HarborCBR

HAG1,3-v12-13 God's people actually listen and obey! They get the best reward: God's promise: I am with you. #HarborCBR 
HAG1,4-In demanding that His house be built, God isn't being arrogant, He's being appropriate. They owe Him EVERYTHING. #HarborCBR
HAG2-The rebuilding begins, and God says "You don't have enough to finish, but trust me, I'll provide. We're in this together." #HarborCBR
HAG2,2-God: "Your sins tainted all that you 'offered' me. Going forward, because you put Me first, you'll see amazing things." #HarborCBR

HAG2,3-Zerubbabel shows that God is again leading His people and has recircled them with His family love. He's like Jesus. #HarborCBR

Zephaniah CBR Tweets

ZEP1-This Flood-like judgment is earned during Manasseh's evil reign(2Ki 21). God removes sinners if they don't remove their sin. #HarborCBR
#HarborCBR Zephaniah begins with City Bible Reading! Before you think this is just "same story, different version" as all the other prophets, realize that Judah got a king-Josiah-who led the whole nation back to God and brought in renewal that changed all of life for everyone (2Ki 22). As angry as God is in this 3 chapter book, it's proof that if we return to God with our whole heart, He is quick to forgive.

ZEP2-God will judge Judah and their enemies. The only hope: turn back to God before it's too late. #HarborCBR
ZEP3-God will renew by removing the rebellious, leaving a community of people who are humble, seek God, and live to serve others. #HarborCBR ZEP3,2-This comes true during Josiah's reign (2Ki22-23). He discovers the Bible, puts it into practice, and the nation is renewed. #HarborCBR
ZEP3,3-Josiah's renewal pictures the more glorious renewal that Jesus brings when He comes and comes again! #HarborCBR
