Do You Put Your Money into a Bag Full of Holes? Haggai 1:6,9.

Do we still reap what we sow? Does that old idea still apply under the New Covenant? Do you harvest what you plant? Yes.

When Israel delayed in rebuilding God’s temple, He said: think about it. Figure it out.

“You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough to feel full. You drink but never have enough. You put on clothes, but never have enough to get warm. The wage earner puts his wages into a bag with a hole in it. ….Why? Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house” Haggai 1:6,9.

Are we taking care of God’s house? Are we tithing and giving to His work?

If you feel like you’re putting your money into a bag full of holes, maybe it’s because you are not giving money to God’s work. It is important to notice that only one month after the Israelites resumed work on the temple, God promised to bless them. 

“From this day on, I will bless you” Haggai 2:19.

*The photo above is a Louis Vuitton purse that I affectionately call “the bag filled with holes.” If you buy this bag, not only will you lose the stuff that falls through the holes, but you will also waste $8,574.50 for a useless purse. (But hey, this website dealing in second-hand “leather totes” has marked this one down from $9.787.80, so it’s a savings of over a thousand dollars.)

Dad's Daily Devotional began as text messages to my family. I wanted my teenagers to know their father was reading the Bible. But they were at school by then. Initially, I sent them a favorite verse or an insight based on what I read each day. That grew into drafting a devotional readng which I would send them via text. I work as an attorney and an adjunct professor, and recently wrote a book called HOW TO MAKE A'S.
