Text: Haggai 1:7 – 11 Memory verse: v 9
Haggai
reproved the people of Israel for not rebuilding the temple of God. God was not
happy with His people and His judgment on them span from 1:6, 9 – 11. They
worked into bags with holes as we saw in the devotion of December 3, 2015 http://mydailycovenantwithgod.blogspot.com/2015/12/bag-with-hole-devotion-forthursday.html or God blows away what would have been the fruits
of their efforts. Heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
Life was miserable for them because they failed to give for the work of God not
because they don’t have but because they see it as unnecessary. Thus they
concentrated on their pleasures.
There
are consequences of actions we failed to perform like not preaching; not paying
your tithes, not giving your offerings, not being obedient to the commands of
God. Here is an admonition for us. Do you overlook the work in your church? Do
you despise offering and tithe? They may be the reason why you have nothing to
show for all your labour. Consider your ways!
Food for Thought: Undermining God is a way of undoing ourselves.
Prayer: Lord, bring me to do your will and do not blow away
my efforts.
