In this section of Haggai, God commands his people to rebuild the destroyed temple. First, he tells them to examine their heart. We are also reminded that it is important to have a place that is set aside for the worship of God. While temporary solutions are sometimes necessary, we are a people of place. If we consecrate a space for worship, when we enter it, we are reminded that that is what we do in that place.
