This message shows how God uses the events of Providence (nature and life) to gain our attention, in order to show us that self-absorption is essentially destructive whereas, putting God central in our lives will glorify Him and be for our benefit.

8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the Lord.

Haggai 1:8 English Standard Version (ESV)
