Haggai 1:7,8

Consider your ways -- Haggai 1:7-8 God told the people to listen to His words and take actions on what He said. "Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD." (Haggai 1:7-8) When we are willing to forget about ourselves, we can honor God in our life. Our main goal and the focus of our actions must be to honor God. Whatever it takes to get God's work done, do it! These people were to take action by going to the mountain to collect the materials to build the Temple. When they took action God would be happy and He would also be glorified. The main issue of Haggai's prophecy is to honor God in actions. The particular action in the case at hand was the rebuilding of the Temple. We must never be content until we are doing the will of God.
