TOPIC: Consider Your Ways (DCLM Daily Manna 10 March 2026)
KEY VERSE: 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 1:6,7
TEXT: Haggai 1:1-7 (KJV)
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.
3 Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 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.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
In his book Being the Best Denis Waitley, American motivational speaker and writer, has some interesting observations about procrastination. “When you stop to think about it,” he says, “there is no such thing as a future decision. You face only present decisions that will affect what will happen in the future. Procrastinators wait for just the right moment to decide. If you wait for the perfect moment, you become a security seeker who is running in place, going through the motions, and getting deeper in a rut. Procrastination is the thief of time.”

The returning Jews from exile came primarily to rebuild the house of God. But they lacked the communal will to translate their desire into determined action. And Haggai was sent to alert them of the danger of foot-dragging in such an important task to promote God’s kingdom. Although the returnees enthusiastically started the reconstruction work, political and religious opposition halted them. Later, when the opportunity to continue the work arose, they were more concerned about their interests. The result was their forfeiture of God’s blessings, plus persistent fruitless labour.
God frowns at men’s actions that prioritise personal conveniences above His commandments. You deny yourself the full benefit of God’s provision whenever you expend your resources on yourself, neglecting His work. For example, Christians who delay having quality time alone with the Lord to fend for their belly do themselves great spiritual harm. Those who borrow what ought to be given to God, to build their own businesses, promising to pay God back later, dishonour God. You actually gain nothing when you bargain with God.

God deserves our best. The best of our time and treasures should always be offered to the Lord. “And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? Saith the LORD of hosts.” Let us consider our ways and give the ultimate Giver the best of our lives.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
He gives the best to God, who first gives his heart to Him.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
