Our lives today are full of distractions, but this was also the case for the ancient people of Israel during Haggai’s day. Though they didn’t have television shows like Fixer Upper or Home Town, they still found themselves being more concerned with their latest home project than they were with building upon their faith. Whether it’s our children’s activities, hobbies, virtual lives, political engagements, or retirement accounts, we can all get distracted from the things that are most important in our walks with the Lord. The book of Haggai is a relevant call for all of us to recenter our lives upon Christ, his Church, and his Mission.
