Haggai

It took less than 10 minutes to read the words of this prophet. Haggai is a prophet who speaks of the acts of a holy life in Christians just as clearly as he spoke to the remnant that returned from Babylon. When you seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness all the needs of life will be provided. (Matt 6:33) The people of God ignored God's directive and they reaped his anger. Why did God wait for them to work for three month before he reversed their plight? I believe it was a matter of faith. They were not comitted to the work until they were three months into it. Then the effort was moving and people were paying the price; living their faith.
