In the Bible, God had given the Jews the assignment to finish the temple in Jerusalem when they returned from captivity. After 15 years, they still had not completed it. They were more concerned about building their own homes than finishing God's work. Haggai of course told them to get their priorities straight. We tend to make other priorities more important than doing God's work. But God wants us to follow and build up His kingdom. Don't stop and don't make excuses. Set your heart on what is right and do it. What is most important to you? Where is God on your list of priorities? Forgive me for asking...
Haggai 1:9 - “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house."
