Haggai

Although the book of Haggai is only two chapters, it is full of spiritual relevance for the day in which we live. God speaks to His people, who had the task of rebuilding the temple and exposes the fact that they had become disinterested and apathetic in their duty. In similar fashion, God's people of today are in danger of becoming too "busy" for the things of God. We too must consider our ways!

There is a temptation for God's people to become spiritually lethargic and begin to neglect the things of God. Enemies often arise to resist any of our efforts. As this happens, the danger is that we become weakened and potentially conform to the world around us. However, Jesus said we are the salt of the world. We cannot afford to lose our saltiness!
