According to our Bible passage, Haggai promises that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the glory of the former. This prophecy means that God wants us to look back and see those things we are doing well or that we had done well before that were better than our current situations. He also wants us to remember the past to help us and not to hurt us. We are not to live in regret of the past or to carry the pains of the past to now, but to see how our lives now and the future can be better than the past.
A lot of children started well with God, but for one reason or the other, they have fallen away from His grace. There is still opportunity for you to return to God through genuine repentance and the glory of the Lord will return to your life.

Prayer for today: I pray that the glory of the Lord will fill my life and turn things around for me.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
