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.
