Consider your ways

The Prophet Haggai gives good and godly counsel to those who despise God and to whom God was justly displeased with.   He asked them to reflect upon their actions and to consider their ways.  This good prophet ask them this on multiple occasions to evaluate their actions before the Lord.  This prophet is not alone in calling God’s people to “Consider Your Ways”.  Read Psalms 119:59, Lamentations 3:40, and Proverbs 4:26.
