day no. 16,609: consider your ways

Haggai 1:5-7
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.

Consider your ways. God is not mocked. You cannot sow sin and reap satisfaction. You cannot indulge in discord and enjoy harmony. If you flatter chaos, you will not attract order. So, if all of your attempts to fill the void only produce a bigger hole, consider your ways. Perhaps satisfaction cannot be pursued as end in itself. Maybe pleasures are means to an end, not an end to obtain by any means. If you are spending liberally, but scarcely reaping, consider your ways.
