Life is full of decisions that we need to make. With the busyness of life we are forced to prioritize and juggle many areas. With the frenetic pace of life we make choices concerning work, family, finances, and friendships. In the midst of all those choices it is easy to drift away from what ought to be our main priority, God and his glory. In Haggai 1 God’s people are confronted with the importance of priorities and exhorted to ‘think carefully’ about what drives them. This passage has a contemporary message for all of us who experience the same tensions of priority.
