Haggai 2:15
"And now, I pray you, consider from this
day and upward, from before a stone
was laid upon a stone in the
temple of the Lord:"
This is a message of encouragement. Personal holiness comes only by conscious effort, and sinfulness spreads and increases in one's life unless it is effectively combated as well. This was evident in the lives of the Israelites. Their sinfulness in certain areas had effected all of their activities (Hag. 2:14). However, since they had now repented and laid the foundation for the temple in obedience to the message Haggai had delivered previously. God asked them if they were ready for a harvest, because he was going to bless their fields and orchards (Hag. 2:19)
This message of encouragement has not changed. Personal holiness comes only and I stress only by conscious effort. Why Is it So important? There are many Temples in which the Holy Spirit dwells; The Pastor, The Deacon's, You, Me, and others in the Church. We must keep in mind the motive for our labor. We can not be slothful in our service to God! We must have vigor to accomplish the task that God calls us to do. We must maintain our temple, and in the service for God we should remember to perform every task, keeping in mind that God desires diligence and integrity (Eph. 6:5, 6). God Blesses Everyday. So, Consider Your Temple, And Look For Your Blessing Today!!
Amen!!
