Life's hurdles and challenges can sometimes breed cynicism and smother our devotion to God. That's what the Israelites faced as they tried to rebuild the temple. But God did not abandon them in their despair. Instead, He sent prophets Haggai and later Malachi to encourage them. Take a journey through the books of Haggai and Malachi, and be encouraged by God's promises and love as you gain courage to trust Him with your disappointment and move on with hope and joy.
