The second month
There’s a beautiful promise in beginnings, even when the journey has been long and the waiting season hard. After years of exile, uncertainty and delay, the people of Israel returned to Jerusalem. They didn’t rush in on day one; they arrived, assessed, prepared, and in the right season – the second month of the second year – they began the work.
Sometimes God’s timing doesn’t match our own. We may feel ready for a breakthrough, a new season, or a fresh start, but He’s shaping the season, the timing and the hearts of those involved. Zerubbabel, Joshua and the people remind us that hope is not wasted and preparation is not pointless. Every step – small or large – is part of God’s plan to restore, rebuild and renew.
If you’ve been wondering if it’s time to start again, take heart. God sees your faithfulness, He knows your season, and He’ll guide your hands when it’s time to move. Even the smallest steps when taken in obedience are part of His greater purpose.
Today, be encouraged: your ‘second month’ may be closer than you think. Step forward in faith, trusting Him, and watch Him bring beauty from patience, persistence and hope. What seems like a small beginning now can become the foundation for extraordinary things, and God delights in every faithful step you take toward Him.
