Samantha Decker learned something about her priorities from Haggai 1. I bet you and I can as well.
The Israelites were planting, eating, drinking, dressing, and earning wages, but ultimately, it was all fleeting and futile. They were busy with the wrong things.
So often, we’re like the Israelites. We pursue productivity, job success, endless pleasures, do-it-all parenting, and even ministry opportunities over God’s commands and will. Like the Israelites, we need to consider our ways.
Decker’s applications of the text might not be the same as yours ought to be. But nevertheless, she demonstrates well the skill of applying Scripture to head, heart, and hands.
