Haggai 2:10-23

1. It's easier to become unclean than clean
   
2. Take the Lord's hint when you're spinning your wheels
   
3. Go Zerubbabel!
   

Haggai 2:1-9

At the beginning of chapter 2, Haggai reminds the leaders that the temple looks cruddy compared to its former glory.

However, God reassures the leaders--through Haggai--that the temple repaired will look even better than the original.

Haggai 1

I'll take a brief foray into the OT book of Haggai for the next couple of days.

Haggai makes the people aware that they have sinned by neglecting the temple at the expense of their own possessions.

A consequence is that no matter how hard the people work, they struggle to make ends meet.

When do I struggle to succeed, no matter how hard I try?
