Are You Hearing a Spiritual Wake-Up Call?
I’m not sure about you, but in every season of my Christian walk, I have needed a reminder of my priorities. It usually happens gradually with just a slight shift here or there, but over time it’s easy to get busy and start spending less time in prayer and Bible study. We can all but stop doing the things we should be doing. I have certainly been guilty of losing focus and running around thinking about myself.
Just as an alarm clock’s purpose is to wake us up, sometimes God sends spiritual alarms to awaken us to His presence and purpose. These alarms, often in the form of divine message or challenges, call us to reevaluate our priorities and realign them with God’s will.

We make lots of excuses as to why we don’t have time to do things for God, but we can always find time to do things for ourselves. We don’t have a time problem but a priority problem. We are more than willing to make time for the things we care about most.
Are You on Your Road? Or God’s Road?
The prophet said, “Consider your ways” (Hag. 1:5b, NKJV). This phrase is a Hebrew figure of speech that literally means, “Put your heart on your roads.” Haggai asked God’s people to consider the direction their lives were heading and whether they wanted to continue on that path. I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the same question. The Israelites needed to shift their focus from their own pleasure to obeying God’s Word and rebuilding His house.
In your life, what priorities need repositioning? Are there areas of your life where God is asking for more attention or more dedication? Don’t forget: It’s not about moving God to our priority list—it’s about moving ourselves to align with His eternal plan.
