Consider your ways! "You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes." Haggai 1:5-6
God's people returned from their captivity with a challenge to rebuild God’s temple in Jerusalem. They were supplied with all the materials for the job, but they used them to build their own houses instead. Things were not going well for the returning exiles, and they just couldn’t understand why. The prophet told them to wake up. Until they started putting God first, everything would slip through their hands. Sound like anyone we know? We all have some sort of purpose driven life, but is the Lord’s purpose first? Let’s be thankful we can still wake up and get it right.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
