In Haggai 1:6-7 we read:
"You have
sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but
you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And
he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes." Thus says
the LORD of hosts: "Consider your ways!
It’s funny how often
people get caught in a feedback cycle yet never stop to consider why. There is an
old adage, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results”. In
this passage, God is rebuking his people because they can’t seem to get ahead
yet they never stop to consider why. In putting everything else but God first
in their lives, nothing in their lives seems to be working out. Yet they
continue in the same pattern.
Consider your ways!
It is a cry we need
to hear today. If things are not
improving, it might be because we not doing anything differently. If we are
stuck in the same rut, it might be because we spinning our wheels instead of turning
them.
Consider your Ways!
Is there something
we have left out? Is there something we are missing? Is what we are doing getting results? Are we being
persistent or just being stubborn? Is the “tried and true” not really all that
true or even fully tried?
Consider Your Ways!
Is success being hindered because there is sin
in the way? Is our viewpoint one that is not seeing potential hindrances? Do we
need more help? Do we need to go back to the drawing board? Are we in the way
or on the way?
If we find ourselves not getting anywhere, we
might need to consider our ways.
