Haggai 1, 2

Elvis didn’t invent shakin’.

The shakings and refinings of the Lord are a major theme of this minor prophet. When being shook, the Christian can rest assured that whatever is shaken loose was not securely attached. It was of little eternal value.

It’s not pleasant to be shaken. We find comfort knowing that God is the One doing the shaking.

Hold on the those things eternal. Let the rest go.
