Commentary on Haggai 2:8

Theological / Devotional

Silver. God does not ask men to give Him offerings because He needs money, but in order that they may receive a blessing from giving and develop a character like His (see DA 20, 21). “Continual giving starves covetousness to death” (3T 548). From the Jews in Haggai’s day we may learn the lesson that God cannot bless those who fail to render Him that which is needed in His service (see ch. 1:5-11).
