2011 December 17 - Morning Manna

Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways
(Haggai 1:5-7)

Today's Morsel: If someone were to ask you why you are doing what you are doing, what would you tell them. Often, we don't consider what we are doing and why we are doing it. Sometimes we just go with the flow. Solomon said, "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls" (Proverbs 25:28). How often do you consider your ways? When is the last time you just sat down and considered eternity? If you died right now, where would you spend eternity? What if you lost everything you own, what would you do? The Lord said that we should consider our ways. Are you one that agrees with others that you know aren't telling the truth? Are you one that says that you are a Christian, but you know within you there are many things that aren't like Jesus? Are you one that has trouble with faithfulness, commitment, dedication, and follow through? Are you one that gets mad easily? Are you one that nothing satisfies you or you seem to never be content with what you have or who you are? The Lord says that we are to consider our ways. He said that, "You have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes." Is God speaking to you today? Then I say that it's time you consider your ways.

Sing: Take me back! Take me back, dear Lord, to the place, where I first received you; Take me back! Take me back, dear Lord, where I first believed.
