START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Haggai 1:4
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
PANELED HOUSES / HAGGAI 1:4
One of the main reasons the returned Jews had neglected the temple construction was because they had become so busy with their own interests. They had given great attention to the details of beautifying their own homes, using lovely panels of cedar wood, but they had left God’s house in ruins. Haggai insisted that God and His work had to come first. This is a timeless message to God’s people today as well. We must be careful not to let our own interests and concerns get in the way of our relationship with God and His work. His purposes must be the first and the highest priority in our lives (Matthew 6:33). Notice how passionate Jesus was for God’s house and work (John 2:17; 4:34; 6:38; 9:4). Our priorities in life – the things we give our time and attention to – are a good sign of where our hearts are and how much we really love God.
