This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.
Haggai 1:7 NIV
The Lord Almighty wants your attention. In the book of Haggai, God delivers a powerful message through the prophet Haggai: Stop and reflect on the direction your life is taking. Are you on the right track? This isn’t a trick question. God desires a relationship with you, but that requires walking in His will. Taking time to assess your choices honestly allows God to guide you. He wants to bless you, but sometimes we focus on our desires and miss His plan.
So, pause today. Reflect on your priorities and actions. Are they aligned with God’s teachings? Seek His wisdom and ask for the strength to follow His path. Remember, God is always there to help. When you choose to follow Him, you open yourself to a life of joy, purpose, and fulfillment. Even if you have made mistakes and fallen into sin, retrace your steps back to Him. God wants to forgive you and help you walk in His counsel.
Pray to God and ask for His guidance. He will reveal where your path might need adjusting. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and embrace the changes He might bring. Remember, even small steps in the right direction can make a big difference. With God’s help, you can overcome challenges and live a life that honours Him. So, pause and commit to introspection. God is waiting to help you course-correct and find the joy and purpose He has planned for you.
David was a man who took time to take inventory of his life. He prayed that God would search him. It is this kind of life that reflects and acknowledges his errors that God honours. Do not be proud! Think deeply about your thoughts, actions and priorities. Allow God to change you today.
