A Purse with a Hole in It.

DAY 257
6-17-10
HAGGAI 1-2


Good Morning!

Haggai’s message to the remnant of God’s people, who have returned to the land of Israel, is an excellent message to us now. Since their return from captivity they have neglected the rebuilding the Lord’s house and thereby have neglected their relationship with God.

We can be so busy building up our life that we neglect building up our relationship with the father. When that happens the blessings we need from God are not there. What happens when we are only concerned about ourselves? Read…

Hag 1:5-6 "Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."

When we lose our focus, God still blesses us because he loves us. But his blessing will never be abundant without our faithful, God-focused life. Focus on God. Build a relationship with him. When you do, God’s blessings will not be lost in purse with a hole in it.
