Misplaced Priorities: Building Your House While God’s Lies in Ruins

In Haggai 1:5–11, God delivers a wake-up call to His people, urging them to reflect on their misplaced priorities. Despite their hard work, they face constant dissatisfaction—sowing much but harvesting little, earning wages that disappear like money in a bag with holes. The root cause? They’ve focused on building their own homes while neglecting God’s temple, symbolizing their disregard for His presence and purpose. God connects their struggles—drought, scarcity, and unfruitful labor—to this spiritual neglect. Yet, He offers a solution: “Go up to the mountains, bring wood, and build the temple.” This call to action reminds us that obedience requires effort and sacrifice, and the ultimate goal is to glorify God. The passage challenges us to examine our lives: Are we investing in what truly matters, or are we stuck in a cycle of frustration caused by sidelining God?
