This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the Lord.
“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.
Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.”
Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord.
Dear Lord, thank you for today. I ask God to show me his priorities for me. God I want to line up words and actions. We can be very busy during this time of year and forget what is really important. Let us remember the true reason for the season. Thank you God for your loving kindness. I am not forgotten and neither are you. While we are busy being busy, let us build our inner house. What would someone observing us for a week think that our priorities are? Let us love and be loved. God bless you today.
