Today’s message, transitions from Consider Your Ways to Build the House. Frequently, the WHY behind the WHAT is the driving force behind one’s motivation. In Haggai 1:7-11 we look at the WHY in verse 8, “that I may be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the LORD. Is there anything more important than pleasing God?
Find out what brings God pleasure in Psalm 147:11 and Psalm 149:4 and how to practically apply those truths to our lives today. Ultimately, there’s nothing simpler and more straight-forward than a parent wanting to be pleased with / proud of his or her children. The opposite is also true, regardless of age, adult sons and daughters love to please their parents and make them proud. This message takes us back to the basics of allowing our relationship with God to determine our priorities and preferences in life.
