CONSIDER YOUR WAYS
Haggai 1:5 This is what the LORD Almighty says, “Consider how things are going for you!” NLT
Haggai prophesied during the time in which Israel was rebuilding the Temple during the Babylonian rule. It was a time of poverty and national oppression. The people had forsaken the Lord and His patience ran out on them and He let them fall into the Babylonians’ hands.
Haggai challenged the Israelites to consider how things were going for them as a result of their ignoring God. It is a question that we would do well to consider as well.
How are things going for you? Are you on the top of your world, or are you underneath its pressures and stresses? Do you have peace regardless of your circumstances, or are you trying to find some semblance of peace for your soul? Are you content or are you chasing after the world’s empty promises?
How are things going for you? You will only find peace and contentment in Christ. He alone can make your life worth living for. He alone can give you the ability to say that things are well with your soul no matter what your circumstances are.
Let the Lord have His way with you, and you will be able to answer today’s question with a resounding, “It is well; it is well with my soul.”
