I enjoy relaxing in front it TV sometimes, but there really are a lot of things that are a waste of time.
Haggai 1:6 says, “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.”
Instead of focusing on their goal of rebuilding the temple, those Jews were consumed with their own comfort.
There’s nothing wrong with investing in our own comfort sometimes, but our top priority needs to constantly be God.
Do you ever work hard and feel like you’ve got nothing to show for it? Maybe you just need to keep working a little longer. Or maybe you’re working hard at things that don’t really fulfill or matter for eternity.
