"Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways."
Haggai 1:7
It is instructive of course to read this in context, but maybe out of context is important too, so we aren't just considering a sliver of our ways that relate to the story, but really considering all of our ways. Another selection from my Primary lesson kind of goes along with this one too. "When ye fasted . . . did ye at all fast unto me? . . . And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?" (Zechariah 7:6).
It kind of makes me think we should be considering our ways on a large scale... why we do what we do, where our focus should be, and what our ways are leading to. Change can be scary, but if we change our direction now, at least we'll be headed to where we want to go, rather than someplace else. :) And a good thing to think about now maybe, so we can start fresh with the new year.
