"Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the Lord. You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. (Haggai 1:7-9 ESV)
Reflecting on this passage tonight and realizing how much there is that distracts us from pursuing Him. The thing that stood out the most to me is that the thing that consumes us the most is ourselves. When we put ourself ahead of God, it is detestable to Him. God wants us to glorify Him above all.
