‏ Haggai 1:7

Again: Consider Your Ways!

Once more “the LORD of hosts” makes the call to look carefully at their ways (cf. Hag 1:5). Instead of sending them back into exile because of their infidelity, the people are exhorted to think about the way they are going, what happened to them. It should lead them to put the first things first. If God does not get His place, that is to say, the first place, our work will not have a lasting result.
