Building for God's Glory-Part 2

The priorities of God's people were turned upside down. By way of the decree of Cyrus, God had sent them back to the Promised Land for the purpose of rebuiding His temple in Jerusalem for His glory. Even though the foundation had been laid, the altar rebuilt, the daily sacrifices re-instituted, the work on the temple had come to a screeching halt. Until God's people put first things first, God would continue to put a leanness in their souls and withhold His blessings. We have been commissioned to build God's kingdom.
