Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate? Haggai 1:5
When the remnant returned to Jerusalem from Babylon, one of their first challenges was to rebuild the temple. They were completely without resources, but God provided everything they would need through their Persian benefactors. Problem? Yes. They used the material to build their own houses and forgot about God's temple. For that reason, they suffered. How different are we 2500 years later. God provides for us and gives us plenty to do His work. When we keep it all and squander it on our own lusts, we will we have to pay too? Yes, we will !
