Follow God’s Way

Ken avoided the migrant workers in his building. Their habits and way of life, so different from his, annoyed him. One day, however, while Ken was praying, a thought pierced him: They've been your neighbors for years, yet not once have you shared the gospel with them. Think carefully about your attitude towards them . Scripture tells us of when God confronted the Israelites with a similar warning: "Give careful thought to your ways" (Haggai 1:7). After their captivity in Babylon, His people returned to Jerusalem, tasked to rebuild the temple. God had "moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia" (Ezra 1:1) to order the construction and provide funds (vv. 2-4). But after the people laid the foundation, opposition grew (4:1-5), so they neglected the project for fourteen years. Through the prophet Haggai, God told them: "Give careful thought to your ways. . . . My house . . . remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house" (Haggai 1:7, 9). God was saying, "Think carefully about how you're living. Are you doing what I want you to do?" God disciplined His people (vv. 5-11), but when they resumed construction, He encouraged them: "I am with you . . . . Do not fear" (2:4-5). And the temple was completed in less than five years. In what area of life do we need to "give careful thought to [our] ways"? Let's ask God to show us and help us follow His correction.
