Is the seed yet in the barn?

“Is the seed yet in the barn?” (Hag. 2:19)

My comments take this question out of context, nevertheless, it is a very worthy question to consider. Is the seed, in your life, yet in the barn? Is it lying dormant while you enjoy the benefits of God’s grace? The seed is to be planted for the harvest, when the fields are white and ready, so where do you stand in lieu of this question?
The Lord had withheld His mighty hand from Judah because they failed to get the house of the Lord in order (chapter 1), but now that they had refurbished His house, and had set the right priorities, what did they do with Word of God? Too many times we sit back and bask in His grace, and reap the blessings of the treasures of God, but fail to pass them on to others. In Chapter two, he calls upon the old timers to verify that His house is much more splendid than the previous one, and it’s grandeur outshines what used to be (v. 3), but there is still the question we must all consider, “Are we getting the seed out”? Are we sharing the grace of the Lord with others by introducing them to Jesus? The Bible is a practical Book, and here is the practical application for us, are we trying to win others to Christ? The Lord will be pleased to put His name there when we are doing what we are supposed to do.
