They Said It: Four Quotes On The Book Of Haggai

Here are four thoughtful quotes from four different voices on Haggai:

Warren W. Wiersbe — on the excuses the people made for postponing God’s work:

“Too often we make excuses when we ought to be making confessions and obeying the Lord.”

Charles Spurgeon — on Haggai’s command to “consider your ways”:

“Consider your ways practically by altering them.”

J. Alec Motyer — on the returned exiles’ misplaced priorities:

“Their problem was not lack of goods but of good.”

David Guzik — on God’s response once the people finally obeyed:

“He always empowers and encourages us to do what He commands.”

Haggai’s message is remarkably contemporary: Stop making spiritual-sounding excuses, take a hard look at your priorities, and then do something about them.
