Consider Your Ways

"Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'Consider your ways!'" Haggai 1:7 NKJV

Haggai said to the people, “Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying: ‘This people say, the time has not come that the Lord’s house should be built.” “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways!"

And for neglecting the temple God said to them, “You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages, earns wages to  put into a bag with holes. Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified. You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?, says the Lord, because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. For I called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.”

Your response to the things of the kingdom determines God's response to you. Period. Make the things of the kingdom topmost priority and God will make things about you His topmost priority. Give, and keep giving for the work of God. If you've been doing otherwise it's time to consider your ways.
