Haggai 1:7-9
This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the Lord. 9 “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house.
This verse spoke to me. I have to admit it. I am a house addict. HGTV, decorating shows, magazines, Nell Hill, Pinterest ideas. I LOVE decorating. Just like everthing in life, I need balance. God is so good and has blessed me with a home I love. I need to "give careful thought to my ways." How much time do I spend building God's Kingdom?
My simple belief is God has called me to do three things. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS and LOVE SELF.
Of the three, do I spend more time loving myself? Help me Lord, for you to be my Lord and truly be prepared to give it all up for you. Show me how to seek God's glory first in my life. Holy Spirit, lead me, guide me, speak to me to truly put God first in my life and balance building of God's Kingdom and being busy with my own house.
