✨ God’s Promise: A Future Shaking
God told the people through Haggai that He would one day shake the heavens and the earth. This meant He was going to bring about a big change, something that would set everything right again. It’s a reminder that Jesus is coming again, and that day will change everything. But what do we do until then? 🙏
🛑 Overcoming Comparison and Discouragement
When we compare what we’re doing now to past “glory days,” it can make us feel like we’re not enough. This is what happened to the people in Haggai’s time—they were comparing the new temple to the old one, and it made them feel like their work wasn’t worth it. 📉
💡 Listening to God’s Voice
Often, God’s Word comes to us, but we might ignore it, get distracted, or feel overwhelmed. In Haggai’s story, something amazing happens—the people obeyed what God said! This obedience showed that their hearts were moved by God’s message. 📜💛
🚨 What Are "Prodigal Priorities"?
Just like the story of the prodigal son who got lost chasing his own desires, "prodigal priorities" means we’re putting our own comfort ahead of God’s calling. 😕 Jesus taught us to "seek first the kingdom of God" (Matthew 6:33). When we put God first, everything else falls into its proper place. 📜✨
Haggai's story is about God's people getting back on track after they got sidetracked. They started rebuilding God’s temple but stopped halfway through. Maybe you’ve felt that way before—starting something important and then just... stopping. 🤷♂️ Let’s see how God calls us to finish the work He gives us.
