GIVE CAREFUL THOUGHT / HAGGAI 2:15-19

(KJV) Haggai 2:15-19  

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord: ¹⁶ Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. ¹⁷ I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.¹⁸ Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider it. ¹⁹ Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

God asked the people to think about why they had lost His blessing in the past. (They certainly should have remembered what had brought His judgment on them, resulting in their previous captivity and exile.) It was because of their disobedience and rebellion (Haggai 1:9-11; Haggai 1:6-11). Now, however, because of their willingness to build the temple, God would give them success in all other areas of life. This principle also is expressed in the New Testament: God’s favor and friendship will be a part of our lives only as we continue to pursue His purposes and obey His commands (John 14:21-23).
