Haggai 1:5-6
“5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your
ways.
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye
have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but
there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag
with holes.”
In Haggai's day the people were more concerned with the care
of their own houses than they were with rebuilding the House of God. They had
done much work but it was of little value to the Lord.
Many today are more concerned with their life on this earth
than they are with their life after we leave this earth. Many will amass unto
themselves great houses and fine cars and will store up an abundance of food
and closets full of beautiful clothes and earn wages most never dreamed
possible. Yet, they often forget the One who gave them all this. They make no
time for their Heavenly Father who provided them the wage that brought to them
the means by which all the other things are possible. They only seek to gain
more, but all in vain.
O child of God, “Consider your ways” today. Are you building
your own kingdom here or are you preparing for the Lord's Kingdom to come?
Church member, are you more concerned with building up your
own possessions to the glory of self rather than seeing the Lord's church built
up to the glory of Jesus Christ? Consider the spiritual ramifications of each.
“Consider your ways” today.
Follow Christ!!!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
