September 19, Day 262

Today's Reading

While Ezra recorded the history of rebuilding the Temple, Haggai and Zechariah had messages from God for the people. Even though they had been sent back to their homeland with commands to complete the Temple, they got excited about being "home" and started working on their own houses. It's a common temptation to want to make your own nest comfortable before you take care of business. I have faced it and so have many of you. Sometimes we all need warnings like the ones through Haggai.
