You have planted much but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.
Haggai 1:6-7
In Haggai, chapter 1, verses 6-7, the text emphasizes the importance of earning blessings through faithful work and dedication to God's purposes. Neglecting God's house leads to challenges such as crop failures and economic hardships. The Lord addresses these struggles by pointing out the cause of their struggles. By seeking God's pleasure through diligent effort, we can engage in work that benefits others, serves the community, and glorifies God, inviting blessings upon our lives. Aligning our goals with God's will is crucial for spiritual growth and fulfillment. To achieve this, seek God's guidance through prayer and studying His Word, embrace faithful stewardship, serve others, and remain steadfast in our commitment to God's work. Remember the words of Psalm 127:1: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain." May God's blessings be upon each one as they commit themselves to His divine plan and purpose.
Prayer: - Lord, we pray that we careful thought to our ways so that we get the fruits of our hard work and there is no hole in our money bag and our earnings be use in good work Amen.
