Priorities: A Study in Haggaiಮಾದರಿ

What does it say?
Through the prophet Haggai, the Lord rebuked the Israelites for allowing the temple to lie in ruins and instructed them to continue the rebuilding.
What does it mean?
The book of Haggai recounts the messages from the Lord to the remnant of Israel who returned to Jerusalem’s ruins during the reign of King Darius. Procrastination and misguided priorities led to focusing on themselves while leaving the temple unfinished – indicating a problem in their relationship with the Lord. The result was a paradox: no matter how hard they worked, they still struggled with even basic needs. The remnant responded obediently when they recognized the divine origin of Haggai’s chastisement and their economic instability. The assurance of God’s presence stirred their hearts and motivated them to begin the work.
How should I respond?
What task has the Lord given you recently? Have you obeyed or procrastinated? Anything that hinders your obedience to God is a misplaced priority and harms your fellowship with Him. God might even allow a difficult circumstance to refocus your attention on the things of the Lord. What has gotten in the way of your complete and immediate obedience? Determine to begin each day in His Word, aligning your heart to His and being reassured of His presence. What God-given work do you need to begin today?

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.
