Through the prophet Haggai, God calls His people to rise from complacency and rebuild His house. While they pursued their own comfort, the Lord’s temple lay in ruins, and their labor brought little reward. This passage reminds us that true blessing follows when we put God’s work first.

Key Lessons:

• When we neglect God’s house, our own efforts yield little fruit.

• God calls us to prioritize His kingdom above personal gain.

• Obedience to God’s command is the foundation for lasting prosperity.

• Mercy invites us to return, rebuild, and realign with God’s will.
