HAGGAI 1:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of hosts, their God,”

And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God—divine stirring produces practical mobilization; leadership and people commence temple work. The stirring of spirits suggests that covenant obedience aligns human will with divine purpose. The action following from stirred spirit demonstrates that renewed commitment produces energetic engagement.
