God wants us to THINK!

Read Haggai chapter 1 today and two warnings followed by a promise jumped off the page.
Haggai 1:5 The Lord Almighty says "Give careful thought to your ways"
Haggai 1:7 The Lord Almighty says " Give careful thought to your ways"
Following the first warning was a list of what they had done for themselves that yielded little or no results. Following the second a list of what they should do to bring Honor to the house of the Lord.

He, God our maker the creator of Heaven and Earth, is calling us to think! Think about what we are doing each day, every minute of every day.
Do our actions honor Him?
Do our words honor Him?
Is He reflected in the lives we live?
Are we living only to bring honor and glory to ourselves while our soul, our spiritual selves, the temple in which God the Holy Spirit resides lay in ruins?

Then came the promise.
Haggai 1:13 "I am with you" Declares the Lord!
That declaration brings warm fuzzies to your soul. He is with you, in everything you do He is there, every thought that enters your mind He knows it, every pain, every triumph, every smile, every tear He is right there. He is there to comfort you, to pick you up, to cheer you on, to be your ultimate provider. The Lord is with you!

 Do what honors God first before bringing honor to yourself actually don't even worry about bringing honor to yourself just honor the Lord. He is so faithful you can trust the rest will simply fall into place as long as you honor Him!

Build up that house! Make that temple, the Holy place inside you fit for your King. Focus on living your life in a manner that brings Glory and Honor to God. Give thanks to God for the little things in your life. Give praise to God for the things yet to come. Endlessly seek His face. Serve others as a service to Him. Love others as you love Him. Pray! In everything you do bring Him honor. To God give all the glory!
