Haggai

God had fulfilled his promise to return Israel to their inheritance. But they had not done what they had been commanded to do. The foundation of the temple had been started but then the people quit. They were more focused on taking care of their own needs than doing the LORD's work. Because their priorities were out of order God withheld his blessings. They had expected their first harvests to be abundant. But there was a drought. Not because of global warming but rather because of their selfish disobedience. Haggai's message; seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you (Matt. 6:33).
