Haggaï 1:5-6

Haggai prophesied in the post-exilic period as God’s people resettled in the Promised Land after being exiled in Babylon. Tasked with rebuilding the temple, Haggai rebuked the people for living in luxury while the temple lay in ruins. Repeatedly, God encourages the people to “consider their ways” (Haggai 1:5, 7), inviting them to reflect on the fruitlessness of their excess and reorient their hearts and lives to Him.

This three-day reading plan in Haggai calls God’s people to repent, be strong, and trust him. Throughout Haggai, we see that God meets his people in their failure, discouragement, and uncleanness.

No matter how on fire for Jesus we might've once been, it's easy to just settle into a lukewarm posture that has your life looking more or less like everyone else's. This 4 day plan will remind you of the enormity of what God offers men like you and the high calling he's placed on your life while equipping you to think differently about how you're measuring your own life.
