Notes
Consider carefully your ways (literally Set your heart on these matters): For the Hebrews, the heart is where thinking, feeling, and willing occur. This command (also Haggai 1:7; 2:15, 18) urges people to think carefully and understand the link between their situation (drought and poverty, Haggai 1:6) and their failure to restore proper worship of the Lord (1:8–9).
The first message urges the people of Jerusalem to restore proper worship of God.
