START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Haggai 16:1-11
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord. 9 Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. 10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
PLANTED MUCH, BUT HAVE HARVESTED LITTLE / HAGGAI 1:6-11
Though the people may have been working hard, they were not enjoying the success they could have had. They had lost God’s blessing because their lives were self-centered; they showed little interest in God’s goals and purposes. We cannot expect to experience God’s blessing and help in our lives if we are not concerned for and active in His work. This includes participating in and contributing toward ministry efforts at home and abroad.
