Haggai 1:5-9 MSG
"5 And then a little later, God-of-the-Angel-Armies spoke out again:
"Take a good, hard look at your life.Think it over.
6 You have spent a lot of money,but you haven't much to show for it.You keep filling your plates,but you never get filled up.You keep drinking and drinking and drinking,but you're always thirsty.You put on layer after layer of clothes,but you can't get warm.And the people who work for you,what are they getting out of it?Not much—a leaky, rusted-out bucket, that's what.
7 That's why God-of-the-Angel-Armies said:
"Take a good, hard look at your life.Think it over."
"Take a good, hard look at your life.Think it over.
6 You have spent a lot of money,but you haven't much to show for it.You keep filling your plates,but you never get filled up.You keep drinking and drinking and drinking,but you're always thirsty.You put on layer after layer of clothes,but you can't get warm.And the people who work for you,what are they getting out of it?Not much—a leaky, rusted-out bucket, that's what.
7 That's why God-of-the-Angel-Armies said:
"Take a good, hard look at your life.Think it over."
8 Then God said:
"Here's what I want you to do:Climb into the hills and cut some timber.Bring it down and rebuild the Temple.Do it just for me. Honor me."
"Here's what I want you to do:Climb into the hills and cut some timber.Bring it down and rebuild the Temple.Do it just for me. Honor me."
Thanks be to Jesus, you are now God's precious Temple. Therefore, if you find your life seems to be going no where, then it is time to tear down the old wood, so-to-speak, and rebuild! It is time to start fresh with God! It is time to start over, start anew - start afresh.
So... just do it! Don't worry - God is always with you.
