Song
Welcome Home (Hymns For Home and Church #1027) verses 1-2
Scripture
Discussion
- After decades of captivity, a group of Israelites, probably including the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, were allowed to return to Jerusalem. Some in this group remembered what Jerusalem looked like before it was destroyed. Imagine their feelings as they saw the rubble that had once been their homes, their places of worship, and their temple.
- There were many important things to do to rebuild Jerusalem. But after roughly 15 years had passed since the Israelites’ return, the Lord was displeased that the rebuilding of the temple had not been given higher priority.
- What consequences did the Israelites face because they had not finished the temple?
- What blessings did the Lord promise them if they finished building His house?
- The Lord asks us to consider our ways, too. How can we make our priorities the same as the Lord’s?

Consider my ways: what do I do in a typical day? What would the Lord say is the most important on my list?
