Haggai 1:3-11, 2:15-19
After many of the Jews had returned to Judah from exile in Babylonia, they built for themselves expensive houses but had to struggle to make a living. Haggai told the people that if they put God first by rebuilding the temple, God would richly bless them.
For the Christ-follower, its not hard work that will bless you but “heart-work.” The litmus test of putting God first is not how hard you work in your job and in your ministry. The litmus test is where are your treasure, time, and talent invested? Are they invested in the building in God’s kingdom or your kingdom (Matt. 6:19-21)?
