"You have sown much, but harvest little;
you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied;
you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk;
you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and
he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with
holes." (Haggai 1:6).God gets our attention by actually
withdrawing His blessings. Instead of blessings, we have
curses. God wants to speak to our lives' situations. He
actually tells us to consider our ways.

Haggai 1:5 "Consider your ways!“
Haggai 1:7 "Consider your ways!"

The message can't be easily avoided. We subconsciously draw conclusions in our minds. If everything is fine in our lives, then we think everything is okay.

When things go difficult, we wonder whether God has a made a mistake, or that we have done something wrong. God is so intent on getting His people's attention in certain cases that He even influences the weather patterns!

"You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?" declares the LORD of hosts, "Because of My house which lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house.

"Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. "And I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands." (Haggai 1:9-11).
