It is sad to say\u00a0most never connect the dots in the area of sowing and reaping, cause and effect. Haggai tells them in verses\u00a05-6 they have\u00a0sown much but reaped little. He said they never have enough to eat. They take their wages home and put it in bags with holes. In verses 7-11\u00a0Haggai challenges them to just get down to the hard work of building God a house. The promise was if they\u00a0did not\u00a0in verse\u00a010 there would not be even dew to fall upon the\u00a0earth and nothing would bring forth fruit.
