Years ago the Holy Spirit led me to read the book of Haggai every day for 30 days. It is only two chapters long. The resounding call from chapter one is to consider your ways. For several days I have been meditating on Psalm 119:59-60.

It says, “I thought about my ways, and turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste, and did not delay to keep Your commandments.” In Haggai they did not keep God’s commandment to rebuild the Lord’s house, and there were dire consequences.

Have you thought about your ways lately? I did when I first started to meditate on verse 59. What am I doing that the Lord has not called me to do? The psalmist did an immediate course correction. Made haste and did not delay displays a character of diligence ~ being proactive and intentional.
