"The Lord spoke His Word through the prophet Haggai" (Haggai 1:1). The
prophet is only the messenger. It is the Lord who speaks His Word. God's
Word challenges our way of thinking and our way of living. We say,
"Everything is okay." God says, "Everything is not okay." There is a
problem. God says to us, "Carefully consider your ways" (Haggai 1:5).
Our way of thinking and living is self-centred. It should be God-centred
(Haggai 1:4). When we respond to God's Word, He says to us, "I am with
you" (Haggai 1:13). We are not left to do the work in our own strength.
He gives us the strength that we need.
