another to provoke unto love and to good works not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is heb 1024 25 the lesson as a whole there are two key expressions in the little book of haggai that give us the purpose of this prophecy consider your ways and be strong there are six books of the old testament that are intimately linked togetherthree historical ezra xehemiah and esther and three prophetic haggai zechariah and malachi these give us the story of gods dealings with the of judah after the babylonian dominion was overthrown and the mcdopersian empire which was favorable to the jews in the main had succeeded to world sovereignty in ezra and xehemiah we have the history of the returning remnant and the three prophets throw light upon their moral and spiritual state haggai sought to encourage the people to go on with their godap pointed program the rebuilding of the temple which had been hinder ed because of the opposition of the mixed races the samaritans as they were afterward known who were dwelling in the land of pales tine he sought to exercise the consciences of the remnant and called upon them to face their low piritual condition before god and get right with him his searching ministry proved so effective that the people were stirred to arise and build then he sounded out the rou- of encouragement be strong plumbing and eavetroughing ox shout notice fully equipped to do any work required fletcher g0udie ihonc 7402 there is much in these messages to speak to our own hearts today when god has recalled many of his people from bondage to human traditions and brought them back to himself and his word ho would have us set our hearts upon our ways hag 15 r v marg there is grave danger of making more of doctrinal formularies than of godly living but if we turn to him with all our hearts we can count upon his grace to meet every need and give us strength for all our duties verse by verse hag 12 this people say the time is not come it is easy to be come discouraged and to find ready excuses for slothfulness in doing the work of the lord the opposition of the samaritans who even wrote a defamatory letter to the perian king bad brought forth an imperial edict forbidding the building of the city of jerusalem but they had definite permission given by king cyrus to rebuild the temple they were only too easily persuaded to give up the work until a later season verses 3 and 4 is it time for you to dwell in your cieled houses they had put their own interest first and made their homes comfortable while neglecting the house of god verse 5 consider your ways it was a challenge to reality to face conditions honestly and to recog nize the solemn fact that the hin drances to the lords word were actually in themselves for gods people are invincible so long as they walk before him in integrity of heart and devotedness of life verse c sown much and bring in little there can be no true success in anything while the will of god is ignored they had labor ed longan d earnestly for their own sustenance and comfort but there were no satisfactory results because of their unfaithfulness to god verse 7 and s build the house and i will take pleasure in it a second time the ringing challenge came consider your ways with the encouraging promise that if they roused themselves from their lethargy and put god first he would be glorified in the house they were to build verse 0 i did blow upon it they had been busy accumulating in their own interests but their efforts were thwarted by the lord himself whose breath like a great wind scattered their hoardings because of their indifference to his will which should have had the paramount place in their lives verse 10 the heaven over you is stayed from dew because of their selfishness god could not give the blessing he desired them to have and earth seemed to combine to de feat their purpose verse 11 i called for a drought upon the land he had promised abundant crops and full supply of every good thing if they walked in obedience to his word dent 2818 but because of their unfaithfulness he withheld these blessings and gave them to suffer from famine and disaster verse 12 all the remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the lord led by zerubbabel the prince of the house of david and joshua the high priest the rem nant responded to the message of the prophet and bestirred them selves to carry on the work of re building the temple they recog nized the words of haggai as the voice of god to their souls and so obeyed his commands the henri of lie lesson selfseeking and slothfulness aro ever hindrances to the work of the lord when the conscience is not active people readily interpret circumstances to suit themselves and at such times it is amazing the amount of energy that will be ex pended on that which ministers lo their own comfort whereas utter indifference characterizes them as to that which is connected with the lords glory when gods people have time and means for what appeals to their own desires but are full ofexc excuses regarding tho work of the lord we know there is something radically wrong only selfjudgement in his presence will put things right
