The book of Haggai serves as a warning about our indifference to the glory of God. As surely as the night follows the day, there will be consequences for seeking our own glory and neglecting the glory of God. We are not under the Old Covenant so we will not experience the curses God warned Israel about if they were disobedient. However, the NT is clear that God does discipline His people. He will be very creative in getting our attention. Haggai repeats a word we have seen before, “consider.” 2:18-19. God’s people should make a habit of getting alone before God and taking a fierce inventory of our lives.
