Haggai

2 chapters · 38 verses · Haggai · 520 BC

The exiles are home, but the temple is still rubble. They've been busy building their own houses. Haggai has four words: "Consider your ways."

Overview

Haggai is short, sharp, and practical. The returned exiles have their priorities backward — paneled houses for themselves while God's house lies in ruins. Haggai connects their economic frustration directly to their spiritual neglect. It's the Bible's most direct teaching on what happens when you put yourself before God.
