The people started out with good intentions butt after discouragement and frustrations, they ended up putting themselves and their own comfort, above God's purposes for them. Despite the fact that all their work centered around themselves, they were not satisfied and things weren't going right. The people had their sin pointed out by Haggai and repented. God forgave them and worked with them to get back on track.
This is the gospel. we put our own selfish needs above God and things get messed up. When we are convicted of our sin, we need to repent and God will forgive us and work with us to get us back on track.
