This is what the Lord Almighty says: "These people say, 'The time has not yet come for the Lord's house to be built,'"
Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: "Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin? Haggai 1:2&3
In the book of Haggai, the people were evidently concerned with their own houses than the rebuilding house of the house of God. They had only completed the foundation of God's house mainly because of negative influences. Then the spirit of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, that prompts him to stir the people to resume building the temple.
We shouldn't put off today for tomorrow, it may never arrive. But while we're still alive, God has given us a chance to seek Him, to build up on His kingdom. Time is now to glory in the Most HIGH; To worship and praise His holy Name.
