"Now give careful thought to this from this day on ... From this day on I will bless you." Haggai 2:15 & 19 (NIV)
The prophet Haggai told the people to "consider your ways" (1:5 & 7), their selfish indulgence, and the people heard him and responded with repentance and obedience. Because of their obedience that The Lord said for them to carefully consider their situation, and from that day forward He would bless them.
As we age from one day, or year, to the next, it is a good idea for us to consider carefully where we are and where we stand. God has forgiven us of our past sins and has said if we will be obedient, He will bless us from this day on. As we look back over our lives, each day, month, year, and decade, we need to give consideration to the choices that we have made and what He has brought us through. We should thank Him for His goodness, His mercy, and His grace, and for His willingness to bless us from this day forward.
