Haggai is not a book about fitting God in … it’s a book about making God first. As the Jews returned to Jerusalem from captivity, homes were built, stores were opened, fields were planted, crops were harvested and there was a normal pattern of life again. There was only one problem. The temple foundation to God’s house was still in ruins. They had fit God into their lives but God was not first in their heart. They needed to learn the lesson of putting God first.
When our priorities aren’t in line with God’s priorities we will make mistakes and messes of things. When our priorities are in line with God’s priorities we will experience God’s best.
