Haggai 1:9

I have a friend who sends me daily scriptures and devotions.  This one spoke to me today:

"You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the LORD Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house. ~Haggai 1:9
 
Lord, our purpose is building YOUR Kingdom.  Forgive us our selfishness; remove our pride and self ambition and replace it with humility and devotion to YOU and YOUR Kingdom.

I am often concerned with my own troubles and want the Lord to come quickly to take me away from this.   A good reminder when we're down - just look up.  It's not about me, it's about the cross.  We've still got work to do.  :)
