Are your Priorities Straight?

Hi Daily Morsel Family ~ Give ear to the below scripture. As scriptures come and speak to me, I want to share with you! I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday!!! 

Haggai 1:5 - 9
Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, “Consider your ways! “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.” Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Consider your ways!  “Go up to the mountains, bring wood and rebuild the temple, that I may be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the LORD. 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.

Because the people had not given God first place in their lives, their work was not fruitful or productive, and their material possessions did not satisfy. While they concentrated on building and beautifying their homes, buying clothes, drinking alcohol, GOD's blessing was being withheld because they no longer put him first place. Moses had predicted that this would be the result of the people neglected God (Deut. 28:38-45).  Judah's problem was confused priorities. Like Judah, our priorities involving occupation, school, family, and God's work are often confused. Jobs, homes, vacations and leisure activities may rank higher on our list of importance than God. What is most important to you? Where is God in your list of priorities?

I love you all and in all your getting, get understanding.
