Haggai 1:5

"Now therefore this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘Consider your ways."

Key Reflection

This verse challenges the people to reflect on their actions and decisions, urging them to reconsider their priorities in light of God’s presence and will. By encouraging them to "consider their ways," Haggai prompts a spiritual examination that can lead to repentance and obedience.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And now, thus saith the Lord of hosts; “Consider,” (literally “set your heart upon) your ways,” what they had been doing, what they were doing, and what those doings had led to, and would lead to. This is ever present to the mind of the prophets, as speaking God’s words, that our acts are not only “ways” in which we go, each day of life being a continuance of the day before; but that they are ways which lead, somewhere in God’s Providence and His justice; to some end of the “way,” good or bad. So God says by JeremiahJeremiah 21:8.
